Based on 15 year old Westport* finished for six weeks in a 50 litre Oloroso sherry seasoned octave cask, this is one of two ‘The Bomb’ whiskies (the other being PX finished), both resplendent with an image of Walter White as his hat and sun glasses wearing Heisenberg alter ego.

In order to prevent third parties who have acquired its whisky selling it under their closely protected brand name, Glenmorangie sell casks of its single malt with a tiny amount of Glen Moray whisky added, calling their now blended malt whisky ‘Westport’.

Review and Tasting


Sampled on 13/01/2014

Appearance:

Clear, deep chestnut brown with ruby glints.

Aroma:

Old leather, plums, raisins and marzipan with clove, nutmeg and cinnamon spice. Water releases pencil shavings, figs and dried apricot.

Taste:

Heavy bodied. Blackened fruitcake, burnt raisons and clove. Water tames but unleashes more cloves.

Continues blackened fruitcake and clove theme.
