New Offers on Laphroaig, Glenmorangie and Other Single Malt Scotch Brands from The Whiskey Place

BROOKLYN, NY, August 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) Single malt scotch whisky retailer The Whiskey Place is now promoting limited-time offers on Glenmorangie and Laphroaig scotch, among other top brands. These single malt scotch deals are currently available online at http://www.TheWhiskeyPlace.com.

Laphroaig's distillery is located on the remote island of Islay, in northeastern Scotland. The Laphroaig 10-year scotch whiskey is what many novice scotch drinkers first sip to learn the intricacies and mellowness of scotch. But for those with a few years of tasting already under their belt, the 18-year-old Laphroaig is a step up. With a nutty nose and a palate full of spring greens and crushed almonds, the 18-year-old Laphroaig is a great purchase at The Whiskey Place for just $94.99.

Glenmorangie is another renowned Highland distillery. The single malt scotch brand's 18-year-old whiskey features a complex nose with elements of vanilla, mint, and walnuts. The palate is well balanced with creaminess and herbal notes; and the finish is smooth and oaky with nutty tones. This bottle of Glenmorangie is well priced at $94.99 at The Whiskey Place.

For shoppers on a budget, the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 12-year-old is aged in port casks, which provide a fruity nose and palate with notes of butterscotch and a soothing finish. This single malt scotch bottle is only $49.99 at The Whiskey Place and is a delicious complement to a relaxing evening.

Another similarly priced bottle of delicious Glenmorangie single malt whiskey is the 12-year-old Lasanta, aged in Sherry casks, available for $44.99 at The Whiskey Place. Since Sherry is a white wine with brandy that has been added after fermentation, it has less sugar than Port, whose sugar remains higher due to the addition of brandy during fermentation. The result is that these casks impart a less sweet flavor to single malt scotches. Thus, the Lasanta is oakier and slightly nuttier than the Quinta Ruban, ideal for shoppers in search of a drier palate.

Mr. Zimmerman, CEO of The Whiskey Place, noted that there are varied differences between single malt scotch bottles, not only from brand to brand, but within the same bottling.

"No two bottles of scotch malt whiskey are the same. Part of the joy aficionados get from sampling different bottles comes from being able to distinguish and discuss the differences between them. As such, it can take years of experience to be able to determine the nuances between two bottles of a favorite whisky," Zimmerman said.
