The guys at the WhiskyGuild are having a ‘Whisky on the Hudson’ cruise tasting event next week. Prior to the event, Glenmorangie is hosting a private party where they will be pouring Signet. I believe Dr, Bill will be there.

I’m looking forward to it.

nunc est bibendum,
John

You can get Renaissance in the UK but Corryvreckan is basically gone unless you are lucky enough to stumble across a bottle.

I was invited on the same press trip as Ho-Cheng to be with Dr. Bill Lumsden of Glenmorangie but had a conflict and haven't been able to hook up with Bill since. I'm glad he was able to post some good information on it. WhiskyViking: I was able to get a Renaissance sample when I was with Dr. Bill back in January (and it is indeed a great whisky) but have had logistical difficulties with the two Glenmorangie products. I'm glad that it's getting rave reviews. Yes, it's crazy how whisky companies play their little distribution games. Sometimes it's frustrating. The U.S. is such a big whisky market, but sometimes the whisky producers treat us like second class citizens by not selling their whisky here at all (as is the case with Renaissance) or selling it one year later than other markets (as it is with Astar). There's a good chance I will see Dr. Bill in a couple weeks. Maybe I will find out more about the (perhaps not so top secret) Signet at that time. Kallaskander, thanks for the links on Astar.

It's smashing stuff. Start planning trips to Europe. Also sorry that your sample was lost John, as it's gotten rave reviews on this side of the pond. As for the "top secret" one, it might be a bottling called Glenmorangie Signet. it's being released in Norway this week. I belive it'll roll out to most of Europe this month. Wrote a snippet on it last week on my own blog. Must say it's fun to see companies still trying to restrict information in certain markets on new releases, while other markets gets all the info they want.
