It appears as though Lagavulin 8 Year Old, originally released as a limited edition to celebrate the distillery’s 200th anniversary, will be joining the core line-up. A new label for Lagavulin 8 Year Old was submitted to the TTB for approval earlier this month, and it’s missing the words “Limited Edition”, which were featured on the original label.
Glenmorangie’s next annual Private Edition release has been revealed through a TTB submission. Private Edition No. 9 will go by the name Glenmorangie Spios, a single malt fully matured in American ex-Rye casks, which the distillery claims will lend the whisky a “savoury elegance and subtle spice”.
We recently heard a rumor about Macallan having plans to re-release The Macallan Cask Strength this summer. After digging around the TTB website, we stumbled upon an entry for “The Macallan Classic Cut”, a 2017 limited edition bottled at 58.4%. All signs point to this being the bottle we’ve been hearing about, though it appears Macallan will be re-releasing it under a different name.
