Glenmorangie Milsean Private Edition is a single malt whisky that offers a unique and delightful experience for both novice and seasoned whisky drinkers. This expression is part of Glenmorangie's Private Edition series, known for its innovative and experimental approach to whisky making. Milsean, which means 'sweet things' in Scots Gaelic, lives up to its name with a rich and sweet profile that is both inviting and complex.
The whisky is matured in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in casks that previously held Portuguese red wine, which have been re-toasted to enhance the sweetness. This finishing process imparts a vibrant and fruity character to the whisky, making it stand out in the Glenmorangie range. The result is a whisky that is both sweet and spicy, with layers of flavor that unfold with each sip.
On the nose, you can expect a burst of candy sweetness, reminiscent of sugared almonds and ripe fruits. The palate follows with a delightful mix of sweet and spicy notes, including hints of toffee, cinnamon, and red fruits. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering sweetness and a touch of spice. This whisky is perfect for those who enjoy a well-balanced and flavorful dram.
