Producers tasting notes

Nose

Caramelised orange and peaches soaked in liqueur are instantly revealed before giving way to sugared almonds, raisins, lime and a hint of distant woodsmoke.

Palate

Mandarin, marmalade and hints of cherry brandy combine with the spiciness of nutmeg and ginger before icing sugar, chewy meringue and violet build up slowly on the palate.
Finish

Finish

Full, rounded aromatic smoke with chalky minerals lingers on top of subtle layers of powdery floral scents.

Glenmorangie Finealta comes in a deep amber color.
