Been looking for a new long-term bottle to add to the cabinet and learned this one was crowned World Whisky Of The Year in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2014.
Glenmorangie Ealanta is distilled as Scotch but matured in the style of American bourbon. The 19-year-old malt has been given a record-equalling 97.5 points out of 100 to see off the Kentucky bourbon William Larue Weller, which came in second.
In explaining his choice, Jim Murray said the unique Glenmorangie had pipped its rival "because it went out and did something very different: not only did it blow me away with its deftness, beauty and elegance, but it gave an aroma and taste profile completely new to me in over 30 years of tasting whisky".
I've tried a few of Glenmorangie's offerings and enjoyed them all, so I did some looking into the cost, expecting something very high. The placement of this one in the lineup only worried me more.
I was pleasantly surprised it currently goes for $150, but pissed it's not currently available here (what's new?!).

Can't go wrong with that praise at that price. I'll find some way to get it...

Woah if it beats WLW I would pay $150 for it. I wonder if its impossible to find now. I'll have to keep an eye out for this.
