Expert Review
8.5/10Private Edition No. 8 (2017). Name means 'baked' in Scots Gaelic. American oak hogsheads heavily toasted, shipped to Madeira to be filled with Malmsey wine and sun-baked, then refilled with Glenmorangie spirit for two-year finish. Created by Dr. Bill Lumsden. 46%. Lush, sun-baked, dessert-like Madeira-finished gem.
