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 […]

Before sitting down with this lovely Speyburn 18 (spolier), the only other Speyburn I’d had was the 10 and that was many years ago. I remember picking it up on clearance for around $10 and I ended up enjoying it enough to go back and pick up a couple more. The store I grabbed it […]

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.

A delightful vintage expression from anCnoc, full of their classic honey character. The Spanish oak has imparted some leather and chocolate notes too. A worthy addition to anCnoc’s fine vintage range. 84/100
