Glenmorangie Ealanta Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Image courtesy Glenmorangie.This Private Edition release from Glenmorangie was matured for 19 years in virgin American Oak casks from the Ozark Mountains. The nose is very Bourbon-like as a result, with toffee, toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, honey, and a hint of roasted almond. The taste is spicy and also very Bourbon-esque with a great cinnamon bite, aromatic notes of linseed oil, vanilla, and hints of roasted almond that come out as the spice fades. The finish has lingering cinnamon and caramel notes, a hint of linseed oil, toffee, and honey that lasts and lasts. (November, 2012)
