Glenmorangie Tusail Private Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 46% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
The 6th release from Glenmorangie’s award-winning Private Edition, Tùsail is the product of a carefully-selected parcel of Maris Otter barley, floor-malted by hand using traditional techniques, and non chill-filtered.
A rich winter variety of barley first introduced in 1965, Maris Otter was bred specifically to meet the demand for a high quality brewing malt and recognized for its ability to impart rich, rustic malty flavours. Now used only by a select few who continue, like Glenmorangie, to uphold an ethos of sacrificing yield for quality by using only the finest ingredients, the result is a whisky celebrating the variety’s renowned taste profile.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Deep earthy, robust aromas of malty, biscuity tones, with a backbone of nut toffee.
Taste: A rich, rustic profile of nut toffee, sweet barley malt, ginger, cinnamon, and dates in molasses complements more familiar Glenmorangie notes of peaches, oranges and smoked pears.
Finish: Tùsail lingers on with a mouth-coating finish.

Glenmorangie generally make a sharp, smooth whisky, but this one immediately strikes you with its boldness. The use Maris Otter barley may seem like a marketing gimmick, but it sets itself a fair degree apart from the 10yo expression, its closest relative in the Glenmorangie line.
The malt really cuts through with cereal notes, but there’s a fruitiness here, with wafts of citrus and banana. The two flavour components are a bit of an oddity together, but to me the grain component wins as the finish lingers.
Ultimately it serves the interest of whisky geeks in providing a snapshot of what a whisky may have been like before the popularity of Maris Otter barley declined, and is a worthy addition to the experimental Private Edition line.
