Glenmorangie Bacalta Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bacalta is the first expression from the distillery which has been finished in sun-baked Malmsey Madeira casks. 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. The casks were emptied and shipped to Scotland to finish the Glenmorangie whisky, which had been matured in ex-bourbon barrels.

Glenmorangie Bacalta Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Fragrant, honeyed and sweet on the nose, with ripe apricots, mead-like, and a curious flinty note, followed by sweet white chocolate.

Palate: Initial burst of mint toffee, with baked fruits such as caramelized oranges, honeycomb, almonds and dates.

Finish: Rich, with a syrupy aftertaste, followed by more caramelized citrus and pears, creamy fudge, and an intriguing mentholic sensation in the background.

Distillery Information

The Glenmorangie distillery was established in 1843, on the Dornoch Firth by brothers William and John Matheson. The site originally held a farm distillery under the name Morangie. There is evidence that distillation was carried out at this site during the early 18th century. Production began in November of 1849. During the latter part of the 19th century Glenmorangie began overseas exportation and destinations included Europe and the United States.
