Milsean (pronounced ‘Meel-shawn’) from the Scots Gaelic for ‘sweet things’ is the seventh release in Glenmorangie’s Private Edition collection. It is the first Glenmorangie expression to be finished in heavily toasted Portuguese red wine casks.


The whisky was first matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks before being moved to casks which had previously contained Portuguese red wine. Unusually, prior to being filled with the whisky, the ends were removed from the Portuguese casks and these were heavily re-charred to caramelise the red wine, so enhancing the sweet candied notes of this Glenmorangie. Of the 269 Portuguese wine casks originally filled, 154 casks were selected to comprise the final blend, producing 5,000 nine-litre cases of Milsean.

Previous releases in Glenmorangie’s Private Edition rage include Sonnalta PX Artein, Companta and Tùsail.
