Glenmorangie Allta Single Malt Scotch 750 ml

Allta (pronounced “AL-ta,” meaning “wild” in Gaelic) is a unique expression from Glenmorangie, crafted using a portion of whisky distilled from high-peated malt—around 10 ppm phenol strength. This peated Highland malt is left to mature for six years in American oak before being married with Glenmorangie’s classic non-peated spirit. The result is a beautifully balanced dram that blends smoky depth with the distillery’s signature elegance.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Gentle peat smoke intertwined with orchard fruits, honeyed barley, citrus peel, fresh mint, and vanilla

Palate: Silky and layered—tones of light smoke, ripe orchard fruit, creamy vanilla, barley sugar, and a hint of peat

Finish: Medium-length, elegant, with lingering light smoke, soft oak, and a touch of sweetness
