The Glenmorangie Milsean Private Edition is the seventh release in the illustrious series of Private Edition Single Malt Whiskies, crafted meticulously by the renowned Dr. Bill Lumsden. This exceptional Highland malt exudes a delightful sweetness, characterized by tropical fruit and lemon sherbet notes, enhanced by a subtle ginger spice. The innovative idea behind Milsean is to evoke the flavors reminiscent of a traditional sweet shop, achieved through maturation in re-toasted Portuguese Red Wine Casks.
This exquisite whisky undergoes primary aging in ex-bourbon casks, followed by an additional finishing period of two-and-a-half years in 154 toasted ex-Portuguese-red-wine barriques. The name Milsean, derived from Scots Gaelic meaning "sweet things" and pronounced "Meel-Shaun", perfectly captures its dessert-like essence. Bottled at a robust 46% ABV, Glenmorangie Milsean offers a sweet and fruity profile complemented by a spicy finish. The unique maturation process in re-toasted red wine casks imparts a rich depth and complexity, featuring notes of ripe berries, dark chocolate, and a hint of toasted oak.
With a limited release of just 30,000 bottles in 2015, Glenmorangie Milsean stands as a special treat for enthusiasts of the distillery and whisky aficionados alike. Whether savored neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, this whisky is an excellent choice for any occasion, presenting a fine balance of sweetness and spice.
