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 […]

These three whiskies form the core range of travel retail exclusive single malts from the north Highalnd distillery of Glenmorangie. They were launched in Autumn 2021 as the world began travelling again following 18 months of Covid-19 lockdown restrict…
This Glenmorangie 15 Years hails from the early 2000s. Back in ye olden days, when they had a regular/standard looking bottle, it was part of their core range, but unlike their current mode of operation, I don’t exactly know what “extra aging” means pre-LVMH. Today, almost everything Glenmo does starts out as The Original Glenmorangie […]

The port wood was replaced by the Quinta Ruban and this Glenmorangie Sherry Wood 12 Years was replaced by the Lasanta. Back in ye-olden days, the Glenmo core line had four distinct finishes, but only the port and sherry survived. The other two “oldies” were the Burgundy and the Madeira finish. Burgundy wine casks show […]

The Glenmorangie Port Wood 12 Years was the precursor to the Quinta Ruban which made its debut in 2007 as an NAS whisky. In 2010 QR picked up the 12 year age statement and 9 years later (2019) it was switched to the 14-year-old we have in the market and on shelves now. I’ve definitely […]

When I saw this Glenmorangie Madeira Wood Finish 12 Years on the list for one of our SCWC Glenmo tastings I was excited. Very excited. When it’s done right, a Madeira finish is one of my favorite finishes in whiskydom. A quick look at the bottle and label style tells you this is a pre-LVMH […]

Glenmorangie Burgundy Wood 12 Years is one of the OG Glenmo core offerings that didn’t make it when LVMH took over. Though its soul lives on in all of the many, and varied, red-wine finished single malts in their portfolio. I guess, in a way, you could say it was reassigned. Though, I’m honestly surprised […]

Glenmorangie Cadboll Estate 15 Years is the standard ex-Bourbon Glenmo aged for 50% longer and made entirely from barley grown on Glenmorangie’s Cadboll Estate farm. So really, not exactly like the GO10 except for being an ex-Bourbon spirit. This particular release is batch 2 which was released in 2020 and only available in North America […]

I first tried the Glenmorangie Malaga Cask Finish 12 Years at a blind tasting. Post-reveal, I immediately opened up the K&L site and ordered a bottle. This limited edition was one of my favorites from that night and stood out amongst all of the other ex-Bourbon and finished Glenmos on the table. It was the […]
