The GlenDronach Releasing A Fifty Year Old, Sherry Cask-Aged Malt
The GlenDronach today announces the limited release of its first-ever 50-Year-Old Single Malt; the Highland distillery’s oldest and rarest single malt Scotch whisky to date. Distilled in 1971, this expression represents a milestone in the near two-hundred-year history of The GlenDronach Distillery. The GlenDronach Aged 50 Years has quietly slumbered over five long decades in …
X by Glenmorangie Review
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 […]

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 Years Review
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 […]

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 12 Years Review
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 12 Years was launched in 2010 and changed to the Quinta Ruban 14 in 2019, but they kept the price the same. The reason for both the change in age and no change in price is that the QR12 has, pretty much, been a 14 yo the whole time. There might have […]

Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or 12 Years Review
I remember the first time I tried the Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or 12 Years. I was at a bar in Hollywood with a client for the day job. I ordered a Glenmorangie Original because it was the first bottle I saw on the back bar. But what the waiter brought me didn’t taste like what I […]

Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 Years Review
Glenmorangie Lasanta 12 Years starts out as the Glenmo Original, aged 10 years in ex-Bourbon casks, but gets an extra-long 2-year finish in ex-Sherry casks. Oloroso and PX casks to be exact. A dual sherry finishing if you will. After spending two years in their respective oloroso or PX finishing casks, the liquid gets blended […]

Glenmorangie The Original 10 Years Review
First stop in our Glenmo mega-series is a re-review of the Glenmorangie The Original 10 Years. It’s the foundation for just about everything else Glenmo does and has long been a go-to whisky of mine. Though not recently. Not for any single or significant reason, but more on that later. Glenmorangie has long been known […]

Miltonduff 25 Years Old 1988 Carn Mor
Oddly salted but good, butterscotch and fruit flavours, plenty of tropicality and a really good body/structure or malty backbone to this one. 86/100
