Glenmorangie new range tasting at distillery visitors center

Brett & I flew over to Scotland to try the new range of Glenmorangie. We sat in a room hearing all about the new marketing plan and bottle design of Glenmorangie. At first, I was a bit concerned - New bottles all this effort in branding, would the whisky live up to the hype.

Then I had the privilege in tasting Glenmorangies new line and yes it was a privilege. The new line of Glenmorangie is closer to a work of art then whisky, others can only dream of developing such a whisky rage. I say range because each whisky blew me a way, all being so different but still in that classic Glenmorangie style.  I realized I was tasting some of the finest, if not thee finest whiskies in the world.

Some might question changing the traditional bottle design and I too had that concern as well.

But to be honest the current bottle design has only been since the 70's and it would be crime not to put this whisky into a new designed bottle . This entire marketing campaign and bottle design was born from the Quality of the Whisky First and not the other way around, like so many others in the industry.

Glenmorangie is truly the leader in the industry from quality, cask selection, people, and above all vision.




The Whisky Range

Glenmorangie The Original
Glenmorangie Original is an inviting single malt whisky, acclaimed and appreciated by luxury spirit drinkers around the world.

The original expression of Glenmorangie’s elegant, floral spirit that is renowned the world over for exquisite finesse and alluring complexity, Glenmorangie The Original is the intriguing marriage of delicate spirit and long, slow maturation.

The taste characteristics from the first-fill bourbon casks that permeates the majority of the aged spirit, coupled with the increased proportion of our ‘designer casks’ (made from slow-growth, air-dried American oak from the Ozark Mountains of Missouri), results in a delicious spirit that enhances the relaxed and convivial mood of the group by igniting the senses.

The Original is, quite simply, the most delicate and deliciously complex single malt whisky in the world.


Aroma: Imagine yourself in an Italian garden surrounded with mandarin, lemon, apple, pear and peach trees, their fruit ripening in the sun. Add to this the scent of vanilla ice cream, then enjoy the herbal aromas of geranium and wild mint growing nearby


Taste: Savour the fruits of the Italian garden as creamy vanilla slips like liquid silk over the tongue as peaches and cream, mandarins and lemons effervesce in the mouth


Finish: The charming sweetness of delicious juices is left on the tongue pale












Glenmorangie Lasanta
Glenmorangie Lasanta is an elegant and full-bodied single malt whisky that has been extra matured in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks after a minimum of 10 years in ex-bourbon casks. Its luscious, soft mouth filling texture, and its deep, enticing, sweet aroma appeals to luxury spirit drinkers who like to experiment, and whose confident choices, warmth and passion inspire the mood of the group.

Non chill-filtered and with an ABV of 46%, its key flavour notes are of toffee, raisins and walnuts.

Citrus notes clear the way for the crispy burnt sugar and melting softness of crème brulee to be replaced by the rich aroma of rum and raisin ice cream

Taste: The full, sweet flavour typical of Spanish sherry with sultanas, orange segments, walnuts and butter toffee.

Finish: Satisfyingly long with spiced orange and chocolate enrobed hazelnuts




Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is a velvety-textured single malt whisky, for confident, colourful, dynamic luxury spirit drinkers who like to take the lead.

A mature Glenmorangie that is transferred from the original ex-bourbon cask and then extra matured or “finished” in port pipes, shipped from the ‘Quintas’ or wine estates of Portugal.

Walnut shells have been thrown on the roaring fire where their scent mixes with the lingering aroma of nutmeg from the Christmas pudding and the warm, musky scent of sandalwood that emanates from the wood-panelled room

Taste: A caress of silk velvet on the tongue gives way to a swathe of rich, dark chocolate-enrobed walnuts leaving in their wake the lemony-rose jelly texture of Turkish delight. Then sugar-coated crystallised orange segments emerge, countered by crisp mint chocolate, adding a chiffon like texture

Finish: Lingering memories of dark minty chocolate with the effervescence of orange

You can smell plump juicy sultanas, dates, warming ginger, coconut and nutmeg. In the background, gingerbread is baking in a wood-burning oven
