Glenmorangie 'Milsean' Private Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Product Description

Glenmorangie MILSEAN (Scots Gaelic for sweet things and pronounced meel-shawn) is a single malt whisky bursting with intense candied fruit flavours and mouth-watering sweetness. It has been created from Glenmorangie matured in ex-bourbon casks and then extra-matured in former wine casks, re-toasted for the purpose. This distinctive cask preparation was used to replicate something of the moreish sweetshop flavours in a single malt whisky. The result is sweet, spicy and spectacular. The Sweet Spot Inspired by the extravagent and varied selections of traditional sweetshops, Dr. Bill Lumsden, our Director of Whisky Creation and Distilling, set to work using ex-wine casks that he had identified and set aside as he knew they would impart an incredible sweetness to his whisky. His aim was to replicate something of those delicious sweetshop flavours in a single malt whisky. These former red wine casks were flame toasted and then filled with Glenmorangie which had been aged in former bourbon oak casks. The result is more deliciously candied than Dr. Bill could have imagined. The spirit is strikingly different with a truly remarkable flavour profile which so closely replicates Dr. Bill's inspiration. Toasted to Perfection Seeing the ideal wine casks for this adventure, Dr. Bill turned to Portugal where traditional grape varieties recognised for their bold flavours are now used to make wines of elegance and finesse. These casks gave the whisky something of their power but something too of their dark and tarry fruits. Shipped to Scotland, we toasted these casks with live flame to enhance the sweeter notes of Glenmorangie, the effort of which is the exquisite palette of sensations one experiences tasting Glenmorangie Milsean. This is our most exuberant Private Edition whisky yet, sumptuous and moreish. It is brimming with the sweetness and piquancy of the toasted casks. Its flavours are rich, delicious and bursting to get out, the magnificent product of this innovative wood finish. Glenmorangie Milsean Milsean is copper beech in colour. Its bouquet is sweet and spicy with hints of sugar cane, ripe fruits, fudge, candy sweetness and buttery coconut. Phenomenally and unforgettably, the taste displays all of that abundant sweetshop extravagence. It blazes with complex sugar-coated flavours, tart plummy fruit, cherries, angelica and candied orange peel, the sweet-things of its Gaelic name. Other fruits -- peaches, nectarines, plums and melons -- are present too, the backbone of all Glenmorangie expressions. A whisky of depth, its lingering finish features ginger, brown sugat and cake mix. Milsean builds on Glenmorangie's unequalled experience in cask selection and in its luscious fullness it displays a new dimension in what is possible with extra-maturation. Private Edition Glenmorangie Milsean is the seventh release from the Private Edition. Our Whisky Creators have developed a single malt of unique character that deserves to be shared with a select audience of Scotch whisky aficionados.
