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 […]

Glenmorangie A Tale Of Cake made me a bit weary. The only other whisky I’ve had finished in a Tokaji barrel was the 1995 Longrow and I hated it. It’s one of the worst whiskies I’ve had and is the worst Longrow, or Springbank for that matter, I’ve had… by a long shot. In theory, […]

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 […]

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 […]
