Glenmorangie Tusail Private Edition Scotch Whisky

The sixth entry of Glenmorangie’s Private Collection Edition. This whisky has been made with ‘Maris Otter’ barley which was originally bred in 1965 as a high-quality malt. Over the years, higher yielding varieties were taking over yet this specific malt is still used for high quality ales and whisky. This is an old fashion whisky, holding the scented notes of Biscuit, Orange and Lemon and a flavour of chocolate milk with notes of ginger and cinnamon, with plenty of malt flavour to settle your palate. This whisky is matured in a small amount of specially selected casks.

Glenmorangie Tusail (Scots Gaelic for originary) is an artisanal single malt, hand crafted using flour-malted Maris Otter Barley. The result is a bright ochre whisky, with rich, rustic flavours of nut toffee, sweet barley malt and ginger, complementing more familiar Glenmorangie notes (Dr Bill Lumsden, Master Distiller). Nose: Like its appearance, Tusail, is light and sweet on the nose with lovely waves of fresh barley and fruit. Palate: The sweetness continues on the palate exploding with rich toffee, barley sugar, caramel, malty biscuit and cinnamon. The overall all taste is wonderfully rich and satisfyingly clean. Finish: A sweet, soft, lingering finish – this is a really delicious whisky!
