I'm a well known Glenmorangie fanatic, so it should come as no surprise that a number of the recent arrivals are Glenmo.

The Year of the Horse wasn't an auction lot. That one I'd reserved well in advance through LVMH and picked up at Julio's Liquors. This is the rarest of the zodiac bottles to date, with only 388 instead of 888 bottles as with the previous four releases.

Cask 8664 was a Distillery Exclusive Release packaged like their Rare Cask offerings.

I picked up one of the 10 Year Old special label bottles, with the stills on the back, and the 1996 bottling of the 1974 vintage.

I also picked up four more Speakeasy bottles - 5446, 5448, 9601, & 9629.

Two more The Scotch Malt Whisky Society Glenmorangie bottles were obtained - 125.2 & 125.11

And then several independent bottles. A couple of Cadenhead 'Highland' bottles which my research indicated should be Glenmorangie, and several Westport bottlings - which is 'teaspooned' Glenmo.

The auction lots included a lot of Glenmorangie. Cask 388 is a distillery exclusive - lightly peated Glenmorangie, which should be very interesting. I also picked up an early Signet bottling as it is one of my favorites, and that older packaging was the best.

A 16yr Distillery Managers Choice, laid down July 1, 1983 and bottled May 4, 2000 at cask strength. A 10yr Cask Strength laid down March 16, 1982 and bottled August 24, 1992.

And a Speakeasy bottle, Cask 13039, laid down in 1995 and bottled August 21, 2008.

Finally, eight Glenmorangie bottles from the The Scotch Malt Whisky Society - 125.8, 125.25, 125.29, 125.44, 125.47, 125.59, 125.60, and a wee bottle of 125.61.

The majority of what arrived recently has been Glenmorangie. Let's start off with these, first a bottle of the 21-year Elegance. I have an open bottle of this which is getting quite low, and I saw this going for a very low bid and snagged it.

And then some other bottlings:
- 10-year Cask Strength bottled in celebration of being voted one of the 100 best UK companies to work for in 2003. 217 of 350.
- A special 17-year Cask Strength bottling distilled in 1987 and bottled in 2004 to celebrate the sale of Glenmorangie to LVMH. My bottle was originally presented to Geraldine O'Hagan. 194 of 346.
- 10-year Cask Strength bottled in 2002, Cask No. 1285. It was bottled to celebrate ten years of partnership between Glenmorangie and Bacardi-Martini. 73 of 249.

And two The Scotch Malt Whisky Society Glenmorangie bottlings, 125.51 & 125.70.
