Glenmorangie – Companta (Private Edition) (70cl, 46%)

Glenmorangie – Companta (Private Edition) is a single malt whisky from Glenmorangie (Highland). Bottled at 46% ABV, 70cl. 'Companta' by Glenmorangie follows on from 'Ealanta', which was named as World Whisky of the Year 2014 by Jim Murray. This Private Edition Companta was a very popular release, selling out quickly from most retailers. After first maturing 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 that fits perfectly into the continuing range of experimental releases from Glenmorangie.
