Milsean Private Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Bottle size

The seventh instalment of Glenmorangie's highly anticipated annual Private Collection, 'Milsean' (pronounced meel-shawn, meaning 'sweet things' in Gaelic) has caused quite a stir with the SWA (Scotch Whisky Association). The whisky is part of an industry push to experiment with maturation techniques, with Glenmorangie's Dr Bill Lumsden at the forefront. Initially matured in ex-Bourbon casks for an undisclosed period of time, the finishing process under scrutiny saw the re-toasting of red wine casks sourced from the Duoro region in Portugal, resulting in an increased amount of caramelised sugars inside the oak - a questionable "flavour addition" as viewed by the SWA, which is not permitted in the production of Scotch Whisky. "Normally, the wine barrels are scraped clean before re-toasting and being used for finishing. Then we’d just kind of wait to see what sort of flavour profile we ended up with.” explains, Lumsden. Needless to say, the SWA did not put a halt to this release. The result is a malty, confectionary delight; "Extra-maturing Glenmorangie in heavily toasted red wine casks has allowed us to create a whisky recalling a bygone era". says Lumsden. "A glass of Milsean transports me straight to an old-fashioned sweet shop". Approximately 60,000 bottles available worldwide.…

About the brand

Produced by the Glenmorangie Distillery of Tain Ross-shire Scotland - known for having the tallest stills in the country, Glenmorangie is a renowned brand of single malt Scotch first released in 1987. The Glenmorangie Distillery was founded in 1843 by William Matheson, a former distillery manager, who later sold the facility to a family firm in Leith called Macdonald and Muir in 1918. The internationally acclaimed beverage manufacturer, Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, purchased Glenmorangie in 2004 and rebranded the entire line with a focus on luxury merchandising and overseas marketing. Glenmorangie’s product line-up includes various aged vintages, rare extra-matured bottlings, and highly-collectible special edition and specialty cask-finished whiskies. This award-winning Scotch whisky has been the best-selling single malt in Scotland since its founding and now holds 6% of the world’s shares in the single malt market overall.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Seaside fudge, coconut ice, blueberries and candied peels. Develops more 'fresh fruit' than 'candied fruit' with a drop of water.

Taste

Cinnamon spice begins to develop, alongside yellow plum, melon and more coconut. Subtly oak-y, but the focus here is on the fruity sweetness, which hints more towards orange segments as it goes on.

Finish

An intriguing balance of sweetness and spice (think strawberry laces and ginger snaps) finish it off.
