Before digging more into the past, let’s dive into the most recent release: Glenmorangie A Tale Of Winter. This is the yearly limited edition that came out at the end of last year (2021) and uses a combination of cask and a knit sweater-styled label to try and evoke the idea and feeling of winter. […]

We’re kicking off the second full week of this Glenmo mega vertical with our second dusty: Glenmorangie Traditional 100 Proof. This limited edition came out around 2003 and made a bit of commotion when it did. Though reading through some of the internet archives that commotion seems to be a bit divided. This kinda shocks […]

Recently I’ve been delving into the world of cocktails more and more and with that, I’ve been getting into classic, though a tad bit obscure, cocktails. To fix that I’ve decided to hit some of the true classics, like the Old Fashioned, before going back down the rabbit hole of classic, semi-forgotten or overlooked cocktails. […]

This Glenmorangie 10 Years Old is a vintage bottling from the early 90s. I figure the best way to cap a run of the current Glenmo core range would be to take a look into the semi-distant past of Glenmorangie. This gives us something to compare everything to and will further set the stage as […]

X by Glenmorangie is notable for two reasons: it was purpose-built for mixing and is a core release from a major distillery aged 10+ years and priced under $30… what? That seems like a deal too good to be true in this insanely priced whisky market we’re in. Which makes me a bit leery. Can […]

Like everything in the core range, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 Years starts out as the Glenmo 10yo but amps up the richness and depth by getting an extra 4 years of aging in ex-Port casks. This is the oldest, and longest finished, of the core range. If you’ve spent any time reading this blog you […]

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 12 Years was launched in 2010 and changed to the Quinta Ruban 14 in 2019, but they kept the price the same. The reason for both the change in age and no change in price is that the QR12 has, pretty much, been a 14 yo the whole time. There might have […]

I remember the first time I tried the Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or 12 Years. I was at a bar in Hollywood with a client for the day job. I ordered a Glenmorangie Original because it was the first bottle I saw on the back bar. But what the waiter brought me didn’t taste like what I […]

Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 Years starts out as the Glenmo Original, aged 10 years in ex-Bourbon casks, but gets an extra-long 2-year finish in ex-Sherry casks. Oloroso and PX casks to be exact. A dual sherry finishing if you will. After spending two years in their respective oloroso or PX finishing casks, the liquid gets blended […]

First stop in our Glenmo mega-series is a re-review of the Glenmorangie The Original 10 Years. It’s the foundation for just about everything else Glenmo does and has long been a go-to whisky of mine. Though not recently. Not for any single or significant reason, but more on that later. Glenmorangie has long been known […]
