The sixth release from Glenmorangie's exceedingly popular Private Edition series is the Tùsail, which has been made with Maris Otter barley. Maris Otter was originally bred in 1965 to meet the need for a high quality brewing malt, though it eventually fell out of style, with higher-yielding varieties taking its place.
Although the barley was perhaps not as widely used as before, some very clever people made sure to secure the future of Maris Otter, allowing producers to continue to use this high quality malt for their tasty ales... and for whisky, too!
Dr. Bill Lumsden and his team have created the Tùsail, a single malt Scotch whisky made using Maris Otter barley (which has been floor malted by hand), matured in a small amount of specially selected casks. A very, very cool release from the Glenmorangie Private Collection.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

About The Brand: Glenmorangie
The distillery known as Glenmorangie, which takes its name from either the Gaelic Gleann Mór-innse or Gleann Mór na Sth, 'valley of calm' or 'vale of great meadows,' is located in Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland. It produces single malt Scotch whiskey. The Glenmorangie Company Ltd., a division of Louis Vuitton Mot Hennessy, is the owner of the distillery. Its main offering is a variety of Glenmorangie single malt whiskies. Highland distillery Glenmorangie is known for having Scotland's highest stills. It comes in a variety of special edition bottles as well as the original, 18-, and 25-year-old bottlings, unique cask bottlings, cask finishes, and extra matured bottlings. Glenmorangie's products typically receive very good ratings from worldwide contests for spirits and from organizations that evaluate alcoholic beverages. At the San Francisco World Spirits Competitions, for instance, its 12-year Lasanta and 18-year single malt spirits have never placed lower than silver. Proof66.com, which compiles alcohol reviews from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Wine Enthusiast, and other sources, has ranked the 12-year Lasanta in the Top 10% of all whiskies. Glenmorangie has received more 'Gold Best in Class' prizes from the International Wine and Spirits Competition over the past five years than any other single malt Scotch whiskey. The Glenmorangie Company received the Distiller of the Year award from the IWSC in 2012. Glenmorangie Quarter Century won Best Highland Single Malt at the 2013 World Whisky Awards.
