This is the 2016 Private Collection release from Glenmorangie, in sharp packaging reminiscent of a candy striper! Milsean is Scots Gaelic for "sweet things" and is pronounced "meel-shawn", and is composed of single malt matured in ex-Bourbon casks before extra maturing in re-toasted wine casks. This is the 7th annual release!
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: caramel corn, candy apple and cinnamon coated mini-doughnuts... is this a Stampede Midway inspired malt? no it is much classier than that... very candied and fruity, wine gums and Jelly Bellies with soft toasted oak, juicy barley sugars and treacle tarts.
Palate: the round malt hits first, followed by the smooth creamy oak and later the crisp spices; more caramel corn, soft leather, dried dark fruits and cooked dates; cinnamon, cardamom and ginger (but not so mini-doughnut like); both the Bourbon and Wine casks influences leave there mark, harmoniously; Jelly Bellies and Wine Gums begin to dominate from the third sip on.
Finish: creamy, toasty and malty with silky follow through; the candied fruits and spices mellow in a long finale!
Comment: did the whisky's candied notes inspire the packaging? the bottle and box immediately make one think of a candy-striper.. and this whisky is very candied; fans of the annual Private Collection releases will not be disappointed!
Staff Tasting Note (Evan and Hunter):
Nose: wine gums, , sultanas, butter tarts, sweet spices, ginger and cinnamon.
Palate: sweet, creamy, and mouth coating. Red and black Nibs, juicy dark cherries, shortbread, gingerbread cookies, salt water taffy, sponge toffee, nectarines and buttered raisin toast.
Finish: long, creamy, and sweet with spice and charred oak coming into prominence after a fashion.
Distiller's Tasting Note
Aroma: Perfumed, sweet and spicy with hints of sugar cane, ripe fruits, sherbet lemons and fudge
Taste: A sweet, luscious candy-like flavour followed by a mix of tart plummy fruit, candied orange peel, cherries, and angelica.
Finish: Long and spicy, but always with a sweetness in the background, with flavours of ginger, brown sugar, sweet tobacco and cake mix.

Elegantly packaged in a cognac like bottle the whisky has been matured in bourbon barrels before finishing in Oloroso sherry casks.
Producer Description
"To create it, we gather the silky, fruity spirit from our giraffe-high stills and let it steep in American oak casks. No less than 15 years later, we transfer a portion into Oloroso sherry casks for three more years. Once 18 years have passed, we reunite them to create its warm balance of sweet, floral lushness. Rich marmalade flavours brush against honey and fig, touches of caramelized orange and far-off campfire smoke. Have a taste, and let your imagination wander to the edge of an autumn afternoon."

The Glenmorangie 10 Year Old was featured on Day 12 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
The Glenmorangie Original 10 Year is the distillery's flagship whisky. Matured exclusively in American oak and bottled at 40%.
From the Distiller
"The original expression of our elegant, floral spirit and the real backbone of the Glenmorangie range. A ten-year-old single malt, Glenmorangie Original is produced by marrying the delicate spirit that emerges from Scotland's tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks.
"It is here, maturing for ten long years in a range of ex-bourbon casks such as our famous slow-grown and air-dried 'designer casks' from Missouri, that our raw spirit develops a perfect balance between sweetness and complexity. Resulting in a mature spirit that is soft, mellow and creamy. Perfect for enjoying at any time."
