Glenmorangie Bacalta Private Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Released in early 2017 as part of the Glenmorangie Private Edition range, Bacalta was the first expression from the distillery to be 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 previously been maturing in bourbon barrels.
