The Glenmorangie Companta is the result of spirit extra matured in Grand Cru casks from Clos de Tart and those of a fortified wine from Côtes du Rhône. Non chill-filtered and bottled at 46%. For some more information on this one you can have a look here or have a look around in their shop ;-)Nose
Cassis, chilli pepper, rich vanilla, thick syrup, oranges, plums, red warm apples, spices, sweet. Honey and some heather floral notes. The feel of floral combined with some Highland's roughness. Some warm black current and forest fruit jam in combination with some pastry, reminding me of baklava a bit.
Palate
Fruits, black current, vanilla, crème brulee, thick, sweet, orange, citrus and mint freshness. Cassis, plums, powdered sugar, light dryness of leather feel combined with the chilli pepper coming back from the nose. The notes from the nose come back very nicely making it a sweet and fruity dram.
Finish
Sweet, middle length finish. Mostly rich vanilla and cherry coming through, giving me the feel of a sugary coated mouth from drinking to much cassis after each other.
Score
7 out of 10. It is a nice and balanced dram for sure, but a bit too overly sweet I find. Something to serve with a lush desert maybe?
