1995, Glenmorangie released the world's first single malt whisky extra-matured in Maderia casks. It was much-loved then and it is much sought-after still. Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangies Director of Whisky Creation and Distilling, has long held an ambition to revisit this extra-maturation and to bring to it the expertise gained through the years from our pioneering work in cask management. But only the very best casks would do - and such things are rarely available.

Glenmorangie Bacalta is the eighth release in their multi-award-winning and always intriguing Private Edition collection. This whisky brings new heights of complexity to a rare wood finish. Inspired by the long, balmy days on the island of Madeira, Glenmorangie Bacalta (Scots Gaelic for “baked”) is a sun-soaked single malt which delivers wonderfully warm layers of sweetness, brimming with baked fruits and honeyed tones. It has been created from Glenmorangie first matured in former bourbon casks, then extra-matured in bespoke casks baked under the sun which once contained Malmsey Madeira – the sweetest and most prized of the Madeira wines.
