Glenmorangie is releasing the Glenmorangie Ealanta, the fourth annual release in its award winning Private Edition range. It is a 19 Years Old Glenmorangie, fully matured in virgin American white oak casks with a provenance that stretches all the way to the mountains of Missouri and the Mark Twain National Forest.

Using virgin oak casks that have been heavily toasted adds huge mouth-filling, buttery, creamy, vanilla flavours – somewhat like a crème brulée topped with almond and marzipan. This makes for a lovely rounded and complex expression of Glenmorangie.

Highlights of Glenmorangie Ealanta: – Heavily charred casks – 1993 vintage – Matured in the finest American virgin white oak sourced from the Mark Twain forest, USA – 46% ABV, Non Chill filtered Tasting Notes: Aroma: Toffee, butterscotch, vanilla, and a curious hint of stewed fruits with mentholic top-note, interwoven with an unusual nuttiness, reminiscent of Brazil nuts in toffee Taste: Candied orange peel, sugar coated almonds, sweet vanilla and marzipan, slight smokiness. Finish: The taste goes on and on, finally giving way to some oak-derived spices – clove, ginger and a hint of aniseed
