✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenmorangie's Bacalta, the eighth release in the distillery's acclaimed Private Edition series, is a sun-baked masterpiece of wood finishing. "Bacalta" is Scots Gaelic for "baked," a direct nod to the sun-drenched island of Madeira where its finishing casks originated. The journey of this Highland single malt begins in the shadow of Glenmorangie's legendary copper stills—the tallest in Scotland—which yield an exceptionally elegant and delicate spirit. After initial maturation in ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky is transferred to bespoke casks that previously held sweet Malmsey Madeira wine. These casks were specifically toasted and seasoned under the intense Madeira sun according to the exacting specifications of Dr. Bill Lumsden. This meticulous process infuses the whisky with a complex, dessert-like character, rich with notes of caramelized peaches, honeycomb, dates, and warm baking spices, bridging the rugged Highlands of Scotland with the volcanic, sun-kissed slopes of Madeira.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
William Matheson grundlagde Glenmorangie i 1843 ved de fredfyldte bredder af Dornoch Firth i Ross-shire, og destilleriet regnes i dag for et uomgængeligt pejlemærke inden for Highland single malt Scotch whisky. Huset udmærker sig ved Skotlands højeste svanehals-kedler af kobber på over fem meter. Den imponerende højde sikrer en forlænget kobberkontakt og massiv refluks, hvilket skaber et usædvanligt let, floralt og citrusdrevet destillat. Det mineralrige, hårde kildevand fra de historiske Tarlogie Springs er ligeledes med til at definere whiskyens særpræg. Under ledelse af Moët Hennessy og den visionære Dr. Bill Lumsden har Glenmorangie været pionerer inden for fadlagring og sekundær modning på sauternes-, portvins- og sherryfade. Foruden klassiske milepæle som The Original og The Nectar står destilleriet bag højt værdsatte, komplekse kreationer som Signet, Pride og den eksklusive årgangsserie Bond House No. 1 Collection, hvor Highland-elegance og nyskabende fadstyring forenes til fuldkommenhed.
