During the launch of the Glenmorangie Bacalta, I had the opportunity to ask Dr. Bill Lumsden about bringing back a cask strength expression. You can see my update on it here.
So this wasn’t just talk, and Glenmorangie is, indeed, planning to re-release the Astar at 52.5% ABV.

The Label
I think we’ll be seeing this one in stores during the summer.
The original Astar was great, I hope this will be just as good!
