Glenmorangie (Say it right: "Glen-more-angie," rhymes with "orangie") has revamped just about everything with their product. Not only have they done a bottle re-design, but they've got a new signet on the bottles and some new product as well. The new items are "Expressions" of the Glenmorangie Extra Matured product and include Glenmorangie Lasanta, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban and Glenmorangie Nectar D'Òr.

Look for the new products and labels to hit the shelves very soon. Glenmorangie hopes to bottle bigger market

I like that they included the Compass Box Whiskey, it's a good one and well worth the price. Rare limited edition and special Scotches
