Glenmorangie launch new Private Collection

Published: 20 May, 2009

Glenmorangie has launched the first of a new collection of limited edition whiskys which are exclusive to travel retail.

The Private Collection with Sonnalta PX takes its name from the Gaelic translation of "generous" (Sonnalta) and PX (Pedro Ximenez), which refers to the ex-sherry casks from Jerez in Southern Spain that the whisky is transferred to for a period of extra maturation.

Dr Bill Lumsden, head of distilling and whisky creation said: " Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX is an extraordinarily rich, dark and absorbing malt whisky.

"I take the twice yearly trip to Spain to select the very best PX casks to use alongside our mainstay Bourbon barrels from the US.

"This is our first release for Glenmorangie's Private Collection, with more rare and delicious releases to come in the future."

The Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX is available to travel retail RRP £62.99. Contact Imogen Russon-Taylor irusson-taylor@glenmorangie.co.uk, or Anna Hall ahall@glenmorangie.co.uk
