Glenmorangie’s Companta Private Edition Single Malt Whisky. Very much like the Ardbeg’s Committee releases or Laphroaig’s Cairdeas, Glenmorangie’s Companta Private Edition release is a small, limited edition bottling of a special expression of single malt whisky. The word companta comes from the Scots Gaelic word for friendship (very much like Cairdeas). With this Companta Private Edition, companta refers to the collaboration between Glenmorangie and the French vineyards in Burgundy that produce Grand Cru Clos de Tart as well as a sweet fortified Côtes du Rhône. Glenmorangie’s Companta uses casks from both of these producers as finishing barrels for a non-age statement release.
