Description
Distillery bottling Glenmorangie Finealta
Bill's been at it again. Glenmorangie Finealta is a recreation of a recipe dating back to 1903. Matured in a combination of American white oak casks and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks this whisky is unusual for Glenmorangie in its light touch of peatiness - a reminder of a time when Glenmorangie dried its barley in a peat fired kiln. This Glenmorangie has many layers to it but when I tried it the word that kept springing to mind was rustic. I suspect this whisky was created to add an extra dimension to The Original.
Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Glenmorangie: Caramelised orange and
peaches soaked in liqueur are instantly
revealed before giving way to sugared
almonds, raisins, lime and a hint of
distant woodsmoke. |
| Taste |
| Glenmorangie: Mandarin, marmalade and
hints of cherry brandy combine with the
spiciness of nutmeg and ginger before
icing sugar, chewy meringue and violet
build up slowly on the palate. |
| Finish |
| Glenmorangie: Full, rounded aromatic
smoke with chalky minerals lingers on
top of
subtle layers of powdery floral scents. |
