Undisclosed Islay Finlaggan Old Reserve Cask Strength Whisky

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany undertones and coppery highlights.

Nose

A coastal, peaty bouquet unfurls: molten peat smoke, sea spray and iodine mingle with opulent sherry sweetness—dark raisins, fig paste, cocoa and toasted almonds. Silky vanilla and old oak cloak the aroma, while whispers of leather and espresso anchor a refined maritime grandeur.

Palate

Opulent yet fearless, this cask-strength Islay coats the palate with peat smoke and iodine, a coastal blaze that lingers. Sherried sweetness threads through dark fig, treacle and espresso, brightened by orange zest and spice. An oily mouthfeel leads to a long, warming finish of charred oak, leather and sea-salt.

Finish

Long, warming finish of peat smoke and maritime brine that slowly reveals rich sherry-soaked fruits, dark chocolate and toasted oak. A peppery spice rides the smoke into a resinous, lingering warmth that invites the next sip.
