Glenmorangie Artein Bourbon / Super Tuscan Wine Casks Private Edition 2011 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46.0% Vol. - a marvellous and monumental Glenmorangie Highland Single Malt!
The excellent Glenmorangie Artein Highland Single Malt Scotch whisky is the third edition of Glenmorangie s limited Private Edition series - the inspiration for this edition of the Private Edition comes from the material stone. The jewel of Glenmorangie s Private Edition - Artein - Scottish Gaelic for stone - is a blend of 15 and 21 year old Scotch whisky, matured in American white oak bourbon casks and given extra maturation in exquisite Italian Sassicaia Super Tuscan wine casks.
While Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie s Head of distilling and whisky creation, was creating the Glenmorangie Artein, he was intrigued by the influence of stone in the whisky s natural ingredients, especially given the special importance of this material to us. This relationship begins with the Hilton of Cadboll Stone, an ancient monument that is the inspiration behind Glenmorangie Artein Highland single malt Scotch whisky. But no less important are the layers of limestone that have filtered the Tarlogie spring water, giving Glenmorangie Artein its fruity flavours and layers of complexity. Or the rocky Tuscan hills near Bolgheri on the Mediterranean coast, which concentrate the flavours in vines that in turn add complexity to the Super Tuscan casks in which the fine Glenmorangie single malt was also matured.
The result is an exceptional and monumental Glenmorangie Highland single malt Scotch whisky with a diversity and depth that echoes the extraordinary legacy of the young and old Sassicaia wine and bourbon casks and stone in a very special way - Jim Murray says: A truly sensual and complex dram, gorgeously weighted.
An exqusite and excellent Glenmorangie Artein Highland single malt Scotch whisky and rare early expression from the limited Private Edition series for connoisseurs, the discerning whisky collector and lovers of fine old Scotch whiskies.
