Glenmorangie Finealta Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Glenmorangie

“A five stars Glenmorangie with peaches, honey and a bit of smoke notes.”

91
Glenmorangie Finealta
Very, very unusual for Glenmorangie (though not for current whisky trends), they've gone and peated it. This was distilled from Lightly peated barley, to an original recipe dating back to 1903. This was aged in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a whisky with sweet vanilla and lime notes, hints of sherry and an interesting whiff of peat smoke.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (91): strong. peaches, grapes, citrus, honey, vanilla, malt.

Palate (92): smooth, oily, powerful. peaches, floral, citrus, honey, vanilla, wood, cinnamon, wax.

Finish (90): long. floral, citrus, peaches, wood, smoke.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Glenmorangie Finealta with 91 points over 100.
