Glenmorangie Finealta Private Edition Whisky 70cl

Product Description

Glenmorangie Finealta is the second released in the Private Edition range by Glenmorangie, the first being the hugely popular Glenmorangie Sonnalta. Carefully selected, limited edition whiskies chosen from the ‘ Cabinet of Curiosities' of Dr Bill Lumsden, Head of the Whisky Creation Team & Glenmorangie. Finealta is a recreation of a recipe dating back to 1903 & the name Finealta comes from the Gaelic word for elegance. Matured in a combination of American white oak casks & Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, this whisky is unusual for its light touch of peatiness, which is reminiscent of the times when Glenmorangie dried its barley in a peat fired kiln. It was at this time when Glenmorangies Single Malt was being served at the Savoy in London. The colour of this whisky is seductive deep amber, which compliments the aromas of Caramelised orange & peaches soaked in liqueur followed by sugared peeled almonds, raisins, lime & a hint of distant woodsmoke. On the palate bursting flavours of mandarin, marmalade & hints of cherry brandy combine with the spiciness of nutmeg & ginger before icing sugar, chewy meringue & violet build up slowly. These entire flavours compliment a full, rounded finish with an aromatic smoke & subtle layers of powdery floral scents.
