Glenmorangie Allta Description
The tenth release in the Private Edition series from Glenmorangie, Allta means 'wild' in Gaelic and takes its title from the wild yeast discovered growing on Glenmorangie's Cadboll barley. Director of Distilling, Dr Bill Lumsden, used this previously unidentified species of yeast to ferment the local barley from which it came. The resulting dram reveals the importance of yeast in the flavour of Scotch whisky.
Hamish Says
Nose: rounded and biscuity with yeasty notes alongside fresh flowers, gentle vanilla and raisins.

Finish: earthy with hints of orange and peppermint lingering.
