The Glenmorangie Original 10 Year is the distillery's flagship whisky. Matured exclusively in American oak and bottled at 40%.
From the Distiller
"The original expression of our elegant, floral spirit and the real backbone of the Glenmorangie range. A ten-year-old single malt, Glenmorangie Original is produced by marrying the delicate spirit that emerges from Scotland's tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks.
"It is here, maturing for ten long years in a range of ex-bourbon casks such as our famous slow-grown and air-dried 'designer casks' from Missouri, that our raw spirit develops a perfect balance between sweetness and complexity. Resulting in a mature spirit that is soft, mellow and creamy. Perfect for enjoying at any time."

Royal Lochnagar 12 Year
$107.99
Royal Lochnagar is Diageo's smallest distillery, nestled into the banks of the River Dee, just upstreaming from Balmoral Castle. It is bottled at 40% after maturing 12 years.
Royal Lochnagar was said to be Queen Victoria's distillery, located but a mile from Balmoral Castle. The Queen granted the distillery a Royal Warrant and gave it the right to use the prefix: "The Royal." The Queen is said to have made the mistake of mixxing Royal Lochnagar single malt with Claret (wine from Bordeaux) and in the words of the late Whisky writer Michael Jackson, "thereby ruining two of the world’s great drinks.”
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: Not obvious to begin with. Planed wood, light toffee, boat varnish. Linseed oil behind, even putty, and later a lychee-like acidity. With water the acidity comes through (acid drops), and the nose sweetens. Still a pleasant fresh woodiness, followed by warm sand. After a while, coffee with brown sugar.
Body: Medium.
Palate: Pleasant; an initial sweetness is quickly overtaken by acidity.
Finish: Dry; medium-length, with an attractive lingering sandalwood aftertaste.
