Single malt Scotch whisky is one of the most revered spirits in the world. It has such scope for variation, it can offer complexity or simplicity, unbridled power or a subtle whisper. To legally be called a single malt Scotch, the whisky must be distilled at a single distillery in Scotland, in a copper pot still from nothing other than malted barley, yeast and water. It must then be aged in an oak cask for at least three years and a day, and be bottled at no less than 40% abv.

Glenmorangie A Midwinter Night’s Dram Winter Edition 2017 (70cl, 46%)
A limited edition release from the legendary Glenmorangie distillery. A Midwinter Night Dram celebrates a tradition in which the Glenmorangie Master Distiller would treat The Sixteen Men of Tain to a special whisky during the festive season as a thank you for their hard work over the year. This single malt features whisky drawn from select bourbon casks and Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks, resulting in an expression full of Christmas spices, sweet fruit and nutty elements.
Not the first to make use of this whisky themed Shakespeare pun, and probably not he last, this is the first A Midwinter Night’s Dram release from Glenmorangie.
The first limited edition release of this Glenmorangie in 2015 was exclusive for the UK market. It was the ‘A Midwinter Night’s Dram’ Limited Edition and was created from a combination of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks.
This second release in 2017, “Winter Edition,” was more widely available and was matured in a combination of bourbon, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks.
