The Allta meaning \"Wild\" in Gaelic sees a bespoke yeast strain found on local Cadboll barley being utilised for the first time to produce a fragrant spirit, which has been matured in ex-Bourbon barrels to highlight its fruity character and lend a rich creaminess to the finished whisky.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllta, which means ‘wild’ in Scots Gaelic, is made using a previously-undiscovered strain of local yeast growing on the barley near the Glenmorangie distillery. This yeast has been used to ferment the barley on which it grew before distillation, lending the spirit not only a distinctive flavour, but an undeniable sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rich, fruity single malt was inspired as Dr Bill Lumsden walked the fields near the Distillery, gathering precious samples of grain. Discovering that the barley nurtured a species of wild yeast unidentified before then, he set out to bring the two together in the making of a creamy and aromatic whisky. Aged in bourbon barrels, including many second-fill casks to showcase the spirit’s fruity character, Glenmorangie Allta (Scots Gaelic for ‘wild’ and pronounced ‘al-ta’) reveals the importance of yeast to the myriad flavours found in Scotch whisky and opens up compelling possibilities for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColour: Pale Straw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNose: Rounded with biscuit and yeasty tones.Gentle floral notes,baking bread,very gentle vanilla,soft raisins and sweet mandarin orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaste: A crisp citrus ‘bite’ to the mouthfeel.
