Whiskey Feature - Glenmorangie Artein


Today we're featuring a great summertime scotch, Glenmorangie Artein.

This one-time release has aromas of red berry fruits, honeysuckle and mint, with baked stone fruit, spearmint and chocolate cherries on the palate. The finish is long and zesty, with notes of lemon sherbert and creamy cappuccino.

While crafting Glenmorangie Artein Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie's Head of Distilling & Whisky Creation, was intrigued by the influence of stone in the natural ingredients of the whisky, especially considering the material's special significance to us.

This relationship begins with the Hilton of Cadboll Stone, an ancient monument that is the whisky's inspiration. But of no less importance is the layer upon layer of limestone that filters our Tarlogie Spring water, giving Artein its fruity aromas and layers of complexity. Or the rocky Tuscan hillsides which concentrate the flavours in vines that will, in turn, add complexity to the 'Super Tuscan' casks in which we extra mature our precious spirit.

The result is a whisky with a richness and depth that echoes the extraordinary legacy of stone.

Try this special whisky while you can, for only $70.99 in our Bottle Club!
