Over the last decade LVMH, the company that owns both Ardbeg and Glenmorangie distilleries, has earned a stellar reputation for its annual limited releases. The Ardbeg Alligator, Supernova, and Rollercoaster releases were all met with immense customer excitment, as were Glenmorangie’s Artein, Tusail, and Ealanta editions. The track record of LVMH’s head of whisky creation Dr. Bill Lumsden is pristine and each time one of his new single malt creations shows up at K&L we sell out within days, if not hours. We’re happy to announce the arrival of 2016’s Glenmorangie Private Edition: the Milsean. Aged in special wine-treated casks, the flavor profile is based entirely on Dr. Bill’s childhood love of candy. It’s a nostalgic attempt to recreate that fruity, slighty-rich character of old time sweets, and it’s extremely limited. Grab a bottle while we still have them!
Glenmorangie “Milsean” Private Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml) ($99.99)
From the distillery: “Glenmorangie Milsean (Scots Gaelic for ‘sweet things’ and pronounced ‘meel-shawn’) is a single malt whisky full of 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 replicates something of the moreish sweetshop flavours in a single malt whisky. It is the seventh annual release in our multi-award-winning and always intriguing Private Edition range. And Glenmorangie Milsean, with its remarkable sweetshop allusions, may be the most intriguing of them all.”
