Glenmorangie Bacalta is the eighth release in the multi-award-winning and always intriguing Private Edition. It is the first expression from the distillery which has been finished in sun-baked Malmsey Madeira casks.

Glenmorangie Bacalta brings new heights of complexity to a rare wood finish. Madeira’s long, balmy days inspire the sun-baked sweetness of this fine whisky, a single malt which has gained warm layers of ripe fruits and white chocolate on its singular journey through extra-maturation. Glenmorangie’s head of distilling.

Dr. Bill Lumsden had bespoke American oak casks made and heavily toasted, then seasoned with Malmsey wine and left to bake in the heat of Madeira’s sun.

Enjoy neat or on the rocks. It also shines with a splash of water to open up its complex flavour profile.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Succulent apricots ripened in Madeira’s island sun emerge from fragrant, honeyed aromas. A curiously flinty note then gives way to beguiling hints of white chocolate.

Palate: Complex layers of honeycomb follow an initial burst of mint toffee. Almonds come forth to mingle with dates, caramelised oranges and more apricots.

Finish: Creamy fudge emerges in the long, syrupy aftertaste, alongside caramelised citrus and then pears. All are played out against an intriguing mentholic backdrop…
