Description
GLENMORANGIE MILSEAN PRIVATE EDITION 70CL
Glenmorangie Milsean Private Edition is the seventh release in the celebrated Private Edition range. Dr. Bill Lumsden and his team crafted this whisky with inspiration from sweetshops. They envisioned the delightful flavors of confectioneries to create a truly unique experience. Initially, the whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks. Then, it underwent further maturation in flamed-toasted casks that previously held Portuguese wine. This dual maturation process enhances the complexity of flavors.
The name “Milsean” comes from Scots Gaelic, meaning “Sweet Things.” Therefore, this whisky caters perfectly to those with a sweet tooth. It promises a delightful journey into sweetness and indulgence.
The bottle itself was part of a private collection.
Tasting Notes

Finally, the finish provides an intriguing balance of sweetness and spice. You can expect delightful notes reminiscent of strawberry laces and ginger snaps. This combination leaves a lasting impression on your palate.
Overall, Glenmorangie Milsean successfully evokes the charm of sweetshops. They aimed to capture those sweet memories, and they truly hit the nail on the head! This whisky stands as a testament to creativity and craftsmanship.
