Loch Fyne Whiskies has stocked a new item, ‘Glenmorangie Finealta’

Glenmorangie Finealta OB 46%alc.

In short, this is limited release Glenmorangie made with lightly peated barley, however the fluff and verbiage explaining this is looks as if it was dreamt up by Tommy Sheridan – utter nonsense.

Never mind, it’s a very good dram in the quite-rich-Glenmorangie style; malty and oily, evidence of vigorous youth but nothing hooded.

An aroma of warehouse oakiness with vanilla and eventually the smoke that you have been conditioned to look for and would probably miss without the suggestion. The age is the first query when tasted, quickly dismissed by a rich cherry-ruby-porty notes, could be a finish – but it isn’t. A quiet orange swallow and a smoke harr (the immediate exhale into the embouchure), a long low-key finish with smoke in it. Water confirms the Glenmorangie style, adds a rose perfume and more smoke.

Despite the smoke and richness it remains in the middle of the Flavour Map Ref: F6 Complex
