Our Glenmorangie Bacalta Launch tasting linked Dr Bill Lumsden and Brendan McCarron in Scotland with whisky afficianados in Mumbai, Sydney and Seoul. It began with the foundation of all Glenmorangies… The Original 10 year:
“We’ve found there are 140 different flavours in our Original” — Bill Lumsden
An appropriate place to start, we sniffed, sipped, swished and savoured…
As we sipped, Bill and Brendon shared their observations, augmented by those enjoying in Mumbai:
- Creamy and complex, sweet butter, some sweet spices such as ginger, gentle nuttiness with almond, coconut, sunshine like character…
The Sydney folks observed that the Original’s character is:
- Fresh applies, light… sunshine and spring like
Talk then turned to pairing with white fish, shrimp, foie gras… and more fancifully to enjoying at a:
- “Chinese restaurant in Taipei with steamed fish seasoned with soy sauce and sweet ginger!”
As an opportunity to revisit The Original in a formal virtual four country tasting, it was indeed a unique experience… an excellent base for the whiskies to come… The Lasanta and Bacalta!
