Glenmorangie
Scotland
Single Malt
The Glenmorangie Companta was the 2014 Private Edition release, following on from Ealanta. After an initial maturation in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, the Companta was matured in 60% Burgundy wine casks from Clos de Tart and 40% Rhône Valley casks that previously held Rasteau, sourced by Glenmorangie's Director of Distilling, Dr. Bill Lumsden. The result is an exceedingly well-made cherry red, non chill-filtered single malt.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Heady, fruity nose with notes of chocolate and spice. Then comes an umami-like delivery of truffles and the forest floor. Bill specifically wanted this character to shine through in the whisky, and it does, beautifully. The typical red berry notes arrive a little later, developing slowly with hints of toasted almond.
Huge palate, far “bigger” than one would expect from the abv. There is a massive spice note, then something akin to chewing on pipe tobacco – sweet and savoury all at once. Black pepper comes through in a big way. Hints of sherbet, ginger, stewed prunes and then molasses. It’s quite chocolatey too, and tremendously complex.
Sweet, very long finish with hints of clove oil on the tail. A hint of muscovado sugar develops, a touch of chestnut mushroom too. It remains oily and mouth-coating for minutes.
Astonishing - one of finest red wine finished whiskies we've ever come across (and we're not always fans of these). Highly recommended.
Not a long time drinker of Scotch. Mostly Bourbon. However this is one of the most flavorful drams I have had the pleasure of running across. Fruits and chocolate come to front for me. Very tasty. I will be running down a few more of these.
So good it may bankrupt me....
I have got 12 btls from Hennessy Vietnam. Nose, taste and finish is very complex and attractive. 90 points in my mind. Excellent choice for connosr in Vietnam who used to love Glenmorangie
An excellent choice for the discriminate palate.
With this you dont nead any else 95p
