✨ 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
Glenmorangie blev grundlagt i 1843 af William Matheson ved de fredfyldte bredder ved Dornoch Firth nær Tain i det skotske højland, og destilleriet er i dag verdensberømt som en pioner inden for Highland single malt whisky. Destilleriet er særligt kendt for at have Skotlands højeste svanehalsede kobberkedler, hvor kun de letteste og reneste dampe slipper igennem, hvilket resulterer i et enestående elegant og floralt rådestillat. Med mineralrigt kildevand fra de fredede Tarlogie Springs og førsteklasses skotsk byg har Glenmorangie – i dag under Moët Hennessys lederskab – længe været førende inden for banebrydende fadlagring og skræddersyet efterlagring på udvalgte fade. Deres alsidige portefølje spænder fra den klassiske signaturwhisky 'The Original' med sine klare citrus- og vaniljenoter til komplekse nyskabelser som den chokolademaltede Signet samt sjældne, eftertragtede vintage-aftapninger.
