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 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 […]

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 […]
