Glenmorangie

Relaunched in 2011, Glenmorangie's Sauternes-finished Nectar d'Or is now proudly boasting a prominent age statement that wasn't there before, proclaiming it to be 12 years old. Give it a couple of years and it'll be staying out after supper and growing a weedy moustache on its top lip.

The 2013 release in Glenmorangie's annual Private Edition series of small batch wood experiments, Ealanta differs from its predecessors as it has been full-term matured (rather than finished) in its designer casks, which in this instance are made from heavily toasted new white oak.

A half bottle of Glenmorangie's ever popular 10 year old - a perfect introduction to the world of Single Malt Whisky.

Glenmorangie Lasanta now boasts an age statement of 12 years old. Lasanta is a finished in both oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks and is said to mean 'warmth and passion' in Gaelic.

Glenmorangie's Quinta Ruban was upgraded in late 2010, and is now sporting a 12 year old age statement where previously there was none.

Glenmorangie's Nectar d'Or is finished in Sauternes casks for 12 years. This is sweet and spicy with notes of ginger, nutmeg lemon meringue and honeycomb.

A unique whisky from Glenmorangie – everything about The Taghta was designed by consumers: the finishing cask, the name and the label design. Taghta (pronounced tuh-tah) is Scots Gaelic for 'chosen' and the whisky was finished in ex-Manzanilla casks.

A delicious no-age-statement dram from Glenmorangie, some of the spirit in Signet has been made using a unique heavily roasted chocolate malt that really beefs up the rich flavours. The packaging is impressive, too.

The fifth of Glenmorangie's yearly Private Edition special releases - Companta, Scots Gaelic for friendship. It's a marriage of whiskies finished in Clos de Tart Grand Cru wine casks and sweet fortified wine casks from Côtes du Rhône. Dr Bill Lumsden likes to experiment each year and we suspect this will be excellent.
