Glenmorangie Bacalta Private Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)

Glenmorangie Bacalta Private Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky is one of the most distinctive releases from the Highland distillery’s celebrated Private Edition series, a line dedicated to experimental cask finishes and innovative maturation techniques. Glenmorangie, founded in 1843, is renowned for its elegant style, achieved in Scotland’s tallest copper stills, and for pioneering the art of extra maturation. Bacalta, meaning “baked” in Scots Gaelic, pays homage to this tradition by showcasing an entirely unique finishing process.

This limited edition begins with spirit matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being transferred into custom-made casks that previously held sun-baked Malmsey Madeira wine. These casks, heavily seasoned under intense island heat, impart rich, luscious layers of flavor that transform Glenmorangie’s delicate base spirit into something both exotic and refined. The influence of the Malmsey casks weaves in notes of dried fruits, honeyed sweetness, roasted nuts, and gentle spice, all elevated by the distillery’s signature smoothness and balance.

Taste Notes & Food Pairings

Taste Notes Glenmorangie Bacalta Private Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rare and refined expression, finished in Madeira wine casks to impart a deep, rich, and layered character. The palate opens with luscious notes of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and caramelized sugar, intertwined with toasted oak and gentle baking spices. Hints of dried figs, roasted nuts, and subtle citrus peel add complexity, while the finish is long, velvety, and warming, where sweetness, oak, and wine influence meld harmoniously. Its texture is exceptionally smooth, full-bodied, and luxurious, rewarding attentive sipping.

Food Pairings This whisky pairs beautifully with roasted or braised meats such as honey-glazed duck, roasted lamb, or spiced pork, where its rich dried fruit and chocolate notes enhance savory depth. It complements aged or nutty cheeses like Manchego, Comté, or smoked Gouda, and desserts featuring nuts, dried fruits, or caramel—fig tart, almond cake, or chocolate ganache resonate with its layered sweetness and gentle spice. Roasted figs, dried fruit compotes, or lightly spiced chocolate desserts also harmonize with its luxurious, Madeira-finished profile.
