- Description
- Glenmorangie's second Private Edition, featuring lightly peated barley matured partly in ex-sherry casks and partly in new American oak—a departure from the distillery's unpeated house style. The name Finealta ('Elegance' in Gaelic) signals a refined approach to experimentation, balancing subtle smoke with orchard fruit from the sherry wood and vanilla from the new oak. For Glenmorangie enthusiasts curious about the distillery's range beyond its core unpeated character.
