Glenmorangie Ealanta


In stock now!
Oak is from the Mark Twain Forest right here in Missouri!


Glenmorangie Ealanta...$104.99
Dr. Bill Lumsden, Head of Whisky Creation, journeyed from the banks of the Dornoch Firth to the Mark Twain National Forest in the Missouri Ozark Mountains in the quest for the finest wood in which to mature Glenmorangie. Aged exclusively in hand-selected virgin casks made of slow-growth American oak, air-dried and never seasoned with Bourbon (as most other whisky casks are) ‘Ealanta’ is possibly the purest expression of whisky that Glenmorangie has ever created.

Charred virgin American oak casks for intensity and complexity with rich flavors of vanilla
The oldest Private Edition ever created; a 1993 vintage (19 year old whisky) matured in the finest American White oak for a complex yet incredibly smooth whisky
Elegant packaging reflects the spirit’s wood influence
A 46% ABV, non chill-filtered collector whisky available until stocks are exhausted


Aroma: Toffee, butterscotch, vanilla, and a curious hint of cooked fruits. Classic Glenmorangie mentholic top-notes are interwoven with an unusual nuttiness,
reminiscent of Brazil nuts in toffee
Taste: Candied orange peel, sugar coated almonds, sweet vanilla and marzipan
Finish: The taste goes on and on, finally giving way to some oak-derived spices, such as clove, ginger and a hint of aniseed
