Glenmorangie Companta Private Edition Single Malt Whisky
Glenmorangie Companta, Whisky Advocate Score -90
Glenmorangie Companta is a bold and characterful limited edition that showcases the distillery’s mastery of wine cask finishing. Released as part of Glenmorangie’s Private Edition series, Companta—meaning “friendship” in Scots Gaelic—is a whisky born from the friendship between Scotch and French wine traditions. It’s matured in a combination of Grand Cru Burgundy casks from Clos de Tart and sweet fortified wine casks from Côtes du Rhône, creating a stunningly rich and layered Highland malt.
The nose is vibrant with aromas of red berries, stewed plums, dark chocolate, and subtle spice. On the palate, the Glenmorangie Companta is velvety and full-bodied, delivering bursts of cherry compote, clove, cocoa powder, and a tannic wine-driven dryness that adds grip and complexity. The finish is long, warming and earthy, with notes of red fruit, nutmeg, and oak.
What makes Glenmorangie Companta so good is its balance of richness and structure. The wine casks don’t overpower Glenmorangie’s elegant spirit—they enhance it, adding depth, spice and complexity while retaining that signature Highland floral lift. For those who love wine-cask-finished whiskies or are looking for something adventurous yet polished, Companta is a brilliant and rewarding dram.
