Glenmorangie Allta Private Edition No.10

0.70ltr. 51.2%

TASTING NOTES:
ENCHANTINGLY CREAMY AND AROMATIC
APPEARANCE
Pale straw

AROMA
Rounded, biscuity notes are threaded with subtle floral scents, hints of baking bread, soft raisins, vanilla and sweet mandarin orange.

TASTE
Crisp on the palate, with a citrus bite. Butter candy comes to the fore with creamy vanilla and orange syrup – and yeast in the background. Then gentle mint and a trace of sweet chilli lead into a long, earthy finish.

Director of Distilling, Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks

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.
