Glenmorangie Allta

Description

Glenmorangie Allta 2019 Private Edition HIghland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 46%)

Marking the tenth anniversary of our acclaimed Private Edition series, Glenmorangie Allta is the first Glenmorangie created from the yeast which grows wild on our own Cadboll barley. This rich, fruity single malt was inspired as Dr Bill Lumsden walked the fields near the Distillery, gathering precious samples of grain. Discovering that the barley nurtured a species of wild yeast unidentified before then, he set out to bring the two together in the making of a creamy and aromatic whisky. Aged in bourbon barrels, including many second-fill casks to showcase the spirit?s fruity character, Glenmorangie Allta (Scots Gaelic for ?wild? and pronounced ?al-ta?) reveals the importance of yeast to the myriad flavours found in Scotch whisky and opens up compelling possibilities for the future.

Tasting Notes

Nose; Rounded, with biscuit tones, light, floral notes and scents of baking bread emerging alongside vanilla, raisins and mandarin orange.

Taste; A crisp, citrus texture brings tastes of butter candy, more creamy vanilla and orange syrup with a little yeast in the background. Then gentle mint and a suggestion of sweet chilli.

Finish; Long and earthy, with hints of bitter-sweet orange and peppermint.
