The seventh release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Milsean (2016) which is Gaelic for Sweet Things. Created by the always curious Dr. Bill Lumsden, who oversees the production of both Glenmorangie and Ardbeg, he’s the mastermind behind these special editions. He’s the orchestrator of their creation and final release, so if you […]

The sixth release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Tusail (2015). It was created using a unique barley strain and an old method of malting: Maris Otter barley and traditional floor-malting. Like the Finealta, this release was a nod to the past. Glenmorangie became a distillery in 1843. Before that, it was a […]

The Bull and Bear cocktail is a prohibition-era drink that’s usually made with bourbon. It’s flavorful and brings a nice combination of sweet and sour notes that are easily adjusted by playing with your quantities of citrus and grenadine. For example, I don’t have a sweet tooth so when I make mine I usually do […]

The fifth release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Companta (2014). Because of the intense popularity and praise the Ealanta received I picked up one of these as soon as it hit the store. Turned out I didn’t need to be so punctual on the purchase because it sat on the shelves for […]

The fourth release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Ealanta (2013) and in a lot of ways, it was responsible for skyrocketing Glenormangie’s ultra-premium reputation. Gaelic for “skilled and ingenious” this whisky was awarded whisky of the year by Jim Murray in 2013 which instantly made it impossible to find and put a […]

The third release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Artein (2012) whose inspiration for the whiskey was rock; stone if you want to sound fancy. Limestone water from their Tarlogie Spring, wine created from grapes grown in the stony Tuscan soil. Even the Hilton of Cadboll monument played an inspirational part. Like many […]

The second release in the Private Edition range was the Glenmorangie Finealta (2011). Which sounds like it should be the end, but it was just the beginning. Figuratively and literally. Finealta is Dr. Bill’s attempt to recreate a Glenmorangie recipe from 1903, which sounds like we’re reaching back into ancient history, but in 1903 Glenmo […]

The first Private Edition release was the Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX (2010). Like most of the core editions, it started life as the standard Glenmo 10. That ex-bourbon whisky was put into some ex-Pedro Ximenez casks from Jerez where it sat for 2 more years. One way to think of the Sonnalta is that’s essentially the […]

Who doesn’t love a Boulevardier? The classic equal parts cocktail is so easily adjusted it can be modified to mix with any social situation or meal. It’s one of the quintessential whiskey cocktails that can easily be executed with rye or bourbon or even Scotch, Irish, Canadian whiskey or Gin. Though if you sub the […]

Before sitting down with this lovely Speyburn 18 (spolier), the only other Speyburn I’d had was the 10 and that was many years ago. I remember picking it up on clearance for around $10 and I ended up enjoying it enough to go back and pick up a couple more. The store I grabbed it […]
