Glenmorangie Allta Limited Edition 2019 70cl 51.2°
For the tenth anniversary of its collection - Private Edition - Glenmorangie unveils the first whisky created from wild yeast developed directly on Cadboll's barley from the distillery.
Over the past decade, the famous Highlands distillery has shared with whisky enthusiasts its passion for innovation through limited editions, rare and unexpected Single Malts. Today, through Allta (meaning "wild" in Gaelic and pronounced "al-ta"), a rich and fruity Single Malt, the distillery reveals the importance of yeasts on the development of the whisky aromas.
The idea originated in Dr. Bill Lumsden's mind when he collected valuable grain samples at random from one of his walks in the fields near the distillery. He then discovered that barley was producing wild yeast never yet identified and began to combine these two ingredients to create a creamy and aromatic whisky.
This Glenmarangie Allta Single Malt is a limited edition. It has been aged in barrels of Bourbon, including several barrels of second filling to reveal the fruitiness of the spirit.

The Glenmorangie distillery operates with the tallest Pot Stills of Scotland (5.13m). This is the size of an adult giraffe!
These stills with spherical compartments (boil ball) play a decisive role in the crafting of the light and subtle Glenmorangie character. Only the lightest alcoholic vapours are collected. The spring waters used by the distillery are naturally filtered through limestone and impart Glenmorangie with its spicy character. The aged versions are increasingly powerful and develop delicate vanilla notes.
Glenmorangie is today an extraordinary pioneer in the art & science of oak cask maturation, and offers a spectacular choice of special finishes. Glenmorangie has a very strict policy and uses only first and second fill barrels, a process that magnifies the layers of flavours. The Glenmorangie distillate ages in ex-Bourbon, American white oak casks for at least 10 years. Glenmorangie collects a share from the ex-Bourbon casks and transfers it into casks that previously contained other alcohols or wines, thus extending the maturation: this is the “wood finish”. The use of casks that previously contained Sherry, Port, Madeira wines or Bourgogne wines maintains the essential balance of Glenmorangie whisky, while imparting intriguing characteristics to the spirit.
The art of cask maturation at Glenmorangie has been influenced by more than 25 years of research, enabling the Master Distiller to find the perfect casks for the Single Malts, and acquire the reputation of an expert amongst the circles of whisky maturation experts.
On the now famous Arbdeg Day, the distillery has launched a new 2014 limited edition: Auriverdes!
