Glenmorangie Astar is back

Glenmorangie Astar is back

Glenmorangie Astar is back 800 493 Luca Cominelli

Glenmorangie Astar was at first launched in 2008 and then discontinued in 2012, but it will be back soon.

Glenmorangie-Astar-2017

The Astar is a No Age Statement with a main characteristic: it is aged in first filling ex-bourbon casks, made with Missouri wood, selected by the distillery personal itself. The casks are produced in USA and they get a little bit toasted before been used to contain bourbon for 4 years. Then the casks are sent to Scotland, ready to receive the Astar. This wood selection procedure is particularly expensive, and this was the main reason to the discontinuation of this whisky. Recently, due to the acquisition of Glemorangie by LVMH, the founds necessary to the new development of the Astar were invested.
