Glenmorangie Allta Private Edition No.10 is a limited edition single malt whisky, released in 2018 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Glenmorangie's Private Edition series. This exceptional whisky is crafted using a previously undiscovered strain of local yeast, Saccharomyces diaemath, found growing on barley near the Glenmorangie distillery. The yeast, cultivated by Glenmorangie's yeast supplier, was used to ferment the barley, imparting a unique and distinctive flavor profile that evokes a strong sense of place. The whisky's aromatic profile is rich and rounded, offering biscuity, yeasty tones complemented by gentle floral notes of carnations and Parma violets. Additional aromas include baking bread, very gentle vanilla, soft raisins, and sweet mandarin orange. On the palate, it delivers a crisp citrus bite, butter candy, creamy vanilla, and orange syrup, with a slightly yeasty background and hints of gentle mint and sweet chili. The finish is long and earthy, leaving an enduring impression. Bottled at an ABV of 51.2%, this whisky is presented in a sophisticated box. Glenmorangie, located in the Highlands region, is the 10th largest malt whisky distillery in Scotland, boasting a production capacity of approximately 6.5 million liters per year. Despite this, it ranks 5th in the world for single malt Scotch whisky sales. Notably, the distillery has expanded significantly, with a current total of 12 stills as of 2009, and an additional two stills added in 2021 for a separate experimental distillery exploring future distillation innovations.
