This week, I am thrilled to offer you all the opportunity to pre-order the newest Limited Edition Glenmorangie: Finealta

Finealta, a triumphant recreation of an original Glenmorangie recipe dating from 1903, is a Limited Edition Glenmorangie with only 600 cases/3,600 bottles shipped into the USA in January of 2011.

This exceptional whisky is a celebration of how Glenmorangie whisky used to be made, and a representation of the decadent spirit of the age. It is lightly peated and matured in American white oak and Oloroso Sherry casks.

The price for Finealta is $79.00, plus S+H

If you want a bottle, please purchase your Finealta ASAP. As you would expect with a whisky like this, we have a very limited supply. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!

Enjoy!

TASTING NOTES

AROMA: Caramelized orange, peaches soaked in liqueur, sugared almonds, raisins, lime and a hint of distant wood smoke

TASTE: Initially rich and spicy with mandarin segments and lime which slowly build on the palate to flavors of powdered sugar, chewy meringue and violet

FINISH: Full-rounded aromatic smoke with chalky minerals linger to create a single malt of both finesse and richness

The original spirit from 1903 would have been made with malted barley dried over a peat-fuelled fire. The peat was originally dug on the Orkney Islands and delivered to the Glenmorangie Distillery by steamship. The lightly peated malt added a distinctive layer of smoky flavor to the whisky.

London’s Savoy Hotel ordered multiple casks of this Glenmorangie spirit in 1903, during the height of La Belle Epoque period, when the wealthy and titled freely socialized with artists, writers and the great actors of the day. The Savoy came to represent the ‘joie de vivre’ of the era, and Glenmorangie epitomized its elegant spirit.
