The second release in the Private Edition range was the Glenmorangie Finealta (2011).
This is the rare USA 750 ML version.
Finealta is Dr. Bill’s attempt to recreate a Glenmorangie recipe from 1903, which sounds like we’re reaching back into ancient history, but in 1903 Glenmo had been operating as a distillery for 60 years. Before that it was a brewery.
This 1903 recipe noted the use of “American white oak” casks (ex-Bourbon) and Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. It also noted peat, because in 1903 that’s how all barley was dried. HVAC systems were a long way off from being widely used.
However, the lack of mechanical heating and cooling systems means little in the world of prestige and premium quality. The Savoy existed and was a haven for good taste and the Finealta is as close as we can get today to the style of Glenmorangie that was served to its patrons.
EYE
Golden honey
NOSE
Banana’s Foster, vanilla pudding, peat, toasted marshmallows, nuts, malt and dried orchard fruit.
PALATE
Leathery dark fruit, banana pudding, smoke, roasted nuts, char, baking spice, vanilla malted shake, milk chocolate and some taffy sweetness.
The palate is complex and alluring.

BALANCE, BODY and FEEL
Very well balanced, medium-full body and a warm oily feel.
