Edencroft New Arrival – The Glenmorangie Ealanta

January 18, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Edencroft Fine Wines – Glenmorangie Ealanta

Glenmorangie’s latest release: The Ealanta Private Edition is now available to buy from Edencrofts.

Buy This Limited Quantity Malt at a Web Exclusive Price of £65.00 – Saving 10%!

The Glenmorangie Ealanta is the 2013 addition to the existing award winning Private Edition range which are fast becoming collectors’ items and joins the other whiskies in the range, the Sonnalta PX, Finealta and Artein.

Ealanta is Scots Gaelic for “skilled and ingenious” and this particular malt whisky is a 19 Years Old Glenmorangie, matured exclusively in virgin American white oak casks from the Mark Twain National Forest in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri.

Dr. Bill Lumsden, the Company’s Distilling and Whisky Creation Director said, “It’s no secret in our industry that it’s the ‘wood that makes the whisky’ and for many years my team and I have been carrying out detailed research in this area.” Ealanta is an experiment dating from the early 1990s. The casks selected from oaks of the Mark Twain National Forest were absolutely top quality and were unusual in that they had not previously held any liquor, such as bourbon.

“The interaction of our elegant spirit from our very tall stills directly with this ‘virgin’ wood makes for many intriguing flavours,” said Dr. Lumsden. “Using virgin oak casks that have been heavily toasted adds huge mouth-filling, buttery, creamy, vanilla flavours – somewhat like a crème brulee topped with almond and marzipan. This makes for a lovely rounded and complex expression of Glenmorangie. New wood also imparts a purity of flavour that I think many Glenmorangie aficionados will find an interesting divergence from our previous Private Edition releases.”

Brian Cox , Vice President of Glenmorangie, added: “The superior quality of our whisky comes from the great yet unseen lengths that we go to in crafting our precious spirit. Traversing continents in search of the finest wood for our casks is a true illustration of our commitment to quality,” said . “Dr. Lumsden and his team’s uncompromising attention to detail has produced an exceptional body of tastes that will surely please even the most ardent whisky connoisseur.”

Glenmorangie Ealanta Private Edition is now available for £65.00 (Normally £72.50 – Save 10%)

Glenmorangie Ealanta Tasting Notes
(46% & chill-filtered for extra texture and mouth feel):

Nose: Glenmorangie Ealanta has a soft toffee and butterscotch aroma, followed by vanilla and a curious strong hint of stewed fruits with a hallmark Glenmorangie top note of menthol.
Palate: Candied orange peel, sugar coated almonds and sweet vanilla are to the fore, wrapped in an unusual nuttiness reminiscent of Brazil nuts in toffee.

Finish: The finish is long with virgin oak derived spices such as clove, ginger and a hint of aniseed.

Benromach’s Sales Soar

January 15, 2013 by Gary Leave a Comment

Benromach Distillery

Benromach’s sales were up by 40% in 2012 and exports increased by 55%. The handmade single malt, which includes Benromach 10 Years Old as part it its range, experienced particularly strong growth in sales to China, Sweden, the USA and France. Sales in the UK increased by 13%.

Handcrafted by just two men, Keith Cruickshank and Mike Ross, it is no small feat for such a small distillery to increase its market share so much in one year.

Michael Urquhart, Managing Director of Gordon & MacPhail said: “As the smallest distillery in Speyside, Benromach is punching above its weight in terms of sales growth.

“Benromach’s single malts are becoming increasingly popular with people who want a whisky with a distinctive traditional Speyside style. We worked very hard to promote ourselves throughout the UK this year, resulting in a 13 percent increase in sales.

“Internationally, our importers in the USA have been letting more people in on the secret of Benromach, while in Sweden and France, new listings of Benromach with large drinks distributors have made an impact.

“China is our biggest success story of 2012. The Benromach 10 Years Old has really taken off over there, spurred on by success in the Hong Kong International Wine and Spirit Competition, where Benromach 10 Years Old gained a top award.”

Benromach also plans to invest £540,000 in a new bottling line in Elgin and building works to improve production efficiencies.

About Benromach
Located on the outskirts of the ancient market town of Forres, the Benromach Distillery is one of Scotland’s best-kept secrets. From Speyside’s smallest whisky distillery emerged a single malt with distinctive qualities reflecting its exclusive hand-made credentials as well as encapsulating the self-reliance, sophistication and modern values of Scotland today.

Just two experienced distillers create Benromach using the finest Scottish barley and the purest spring water from the nearby Romach Hills. They personally ensure that only the highest quality spirit is filled into sturdy oak casks before being left to mature at Benromach Distillery for many years.

Benromach expressions include:
Benromach Ten Years Old
Benromach Ten Years Old is created from the finest Scottish barley and pure spring water from the nearby Romach hills. After being matured for at least ten years, it emerges golden in colour and displays rich fruit, sweet chocolate and delicate spicy aromas. With a rich sherry influence, the mouth-watering palate coats the senses with exotic fruit flavours, toasted malt and a delicate hint of smoke.

Benromach Traditional
A rich and mellow single malt with fruit and malty tones, balanced with a hint of smoke.

Benromach Peat Smoke
Full bodied, intense and challenging with a smoky character, yet balanced with the fruity elegance of Speyside.

Benromach Origins
A series of special bottlings crafted to highlight how small changes in the art of whisky-making can help to shape the character of the final single malt.
