Glenmorangie Allta is a special release marking the tenth anniversary of the Private Edition series. This whisky is unique as it uses wild yeast harvested from Glenmorangie's own Cadboll barley fields. This wild yeast gives the spirit a distinctive flavor profile that is both rich and aromatic. The creation of this whisky is the result of a journey by Dr. Bill Lumsden, who sought to combine local ingredients to craft something truly exceptional.
The whisky is aged in bourbon barrels, including many second-fill casks. This aging process enhances its fruity character while allowing the influence of the wild yeast to shine through. Glenmorangie Allta is a celebration of the role that yeast plays in developing complex flavors in Scotch whisky. With each sip, you experience the creativity and craftsmanship that Glenmorangie is known for.
