Glenmorangie Allta Private Edition - 10th Anniversary Description

The 10th relese in Glenmorangie's award-winning Private Edition series, Allta is the distillery's first single malt to be created with yeast discovered growing wild on Glenmorangie's own barley. Taking its name from the Gaelic for wild, Allta (pronounced 'al-ta') demonstrates the impact yeast has on the flavour of whisky and is bottled at a strength of 51.2% abv, free from chill-filtration.The nose has biscuit and yeasty notes with some gentle floral aspects, soft vanilla and sweet orange. The palate has a crisp bite with butter candy, creamy vanilla and orange atop a yeasty note with a touch of mint and sweet chilli. The finish is long and earthy with more orange and peppermint emerging.

Knowledge Bar

William Matheson founded the Glenmorangie distillery in 1843 and is said to take its name from the Gaelic for 'Glen of Tranquillity'. The distillery is home to Scotland's tallest stills and has pioneered the use of extra-maturation with a number of different styles of cask finishing, including their wood finished core range of 12-year-olds: Lassanta (sherry cask), Nectar d'Or (Sauternes cask) and Quinta Ruban (port cask).
