Cheers
Just what we needed, and it’s not just for breakfast anymore.
kosher concerned
If the scotch is aged 10 -20 years
will we have to wait until the current production ages to drink it?!!

The picture is very misleading. The article writes “that Glenmorangie Original, Scotland’s favorite single malt, has become kosher certified by the Orthodox Union (OU), the world’s largest and most respected kosher certification agency. Additionally, its pioneering new expression, Glenmorangie Astar, has also become kosher-certified.
It mentions nothing about many of their other bottles shown in the piture, like the Quinta Rubin or the 18 year old bottle, etc. Anyone know if that is included?
BCH
yea, just what we needed: a product that gedolim vetovim have been consuming for HUNDREDS of years without a problem – the single malt scotch – finally gets an approval from OU!
What?
WHAT a simcha l’yehudim… thanks to OU and its great team! L’Chaim
