Slightly medicinal nose with hints of peanut, sticking plasters, manuka honey and digestive biscuits. Sweet cereals, barley malt, a little peat smoke, TCP, nutmeg and ginger. A long, sweet finish with toasty oak and peppermint.

Finlaggan was a launch brand for the Vintage Malt Whisky Company Ltd, which focuses on bottling whiskies from the Highlands and Islands. The brand was designed to embody the spirit of Islay (it’s named after a loch on the north side of the island, just west of Port Askaig where the Macdonald Lords of the Isles had their seat), and does so in three core NAS expressions: Old Reserve (40% abv), Eilean Mor (46% abv) and Cask Strength (58% abv).
