Scotch is finished in casks from top
Sonoma Valley winery Sonoma-Cutrer, which is known for its Burgundian-style
Chardonnays. Just 1,000 bottles exist.
‘Whisky is my life, but wine is my hobby,’ says Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s director of whisky creation. ‘I drink a lot of wine, I collect wine and it gives me inspiration for creating new products.’
The idea for a whisky aged in California Chardonnay barrels arose during a trip to the US, when Lumsden first tried a Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay. ‘I felt it had a
Burgundian style to it and a slight smokiness; and that style of wine was the starting point of the whisky we ended up with,’ he explains.
