This is the 4th bottling from the Private Edition, Ealanta is Gaelic and means skillful and inventive. The whisky was distilled in 1993, matured in Virgin American Oak casks and bottled in 2012.
The Glenmorangie Distillery is located in the north of Scotland in the Highland region on the banks of the Firth Dornach. As is usual with coastal whisky distilleries, the salty seawater air gives the single malt much of its extraordinary character as it matures. The Glenmorangie whisky distillery works with special stills. At 5.14 m, the highest stills in Scotland are used in this distillery. Only the lightest and purest steam makes it to the top of the long copper neck. As a result, the Glenmorangie single malts are particularly soft, noble and elegant. The legal roots of Glenmorangie go back to the year 1843. The two Matheson brothers are known to be the founders. After some changes in the ownership structure, Glenmorangie today belongs to the extremely successful Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) Group.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
