Glenmorangie Bacalta

Received as part of a blind testing. My notes: Colour 0.7 - amber, nose is fruit and Speyside sweetness, hints of green apple and floral notes with a touch of malt - Glenlivet-like (but not Glenlivet as there is no colouring). Palate has spice and pepper but some sweetness and fruit notes. An ultra light hint of smoke? Finish is medium, B-. (Followed with Johnnie Walker Green, now I don’t get any smoke and it isn’t as good as green.)

Dense and fruity. The viscosity of the wine is evident, and the oils help the finish play on. I’d compare it to other wine-finished Glenmorangies in terms of richness, oiliness and fruitiness. The red fruit coats the tongue, but the balance of earthiness, malt and fruit is lacking compared to others like the Companta or Tayne.

Awesome white chocolate nose, great overall
