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.

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 […]

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.

The two Glenfarclas cocktail creations are: Coffee & Cacao Bobby Burns and Strawberry & Balsamic Rob […]
A very sweet and dessert-like expression from Teaninich, still a touch spirity and feisty but this adds a little interest to the palate and to the overall enjoyment. 82/100
Entertaining, nice sweet and herbal quality, very volatile in the glass, phenolic – that touch of peat is very present and prominent. Green fruits and waxy pine and herb leaves. 83/100
