Finlaggan Cask Strength Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Finlaggan Cask Strength is a powerful Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky produced from malt sourced from an undisclosed Islay distillery and bottled by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company. Released without an age statement and bottled at a robust 58% ABV, it delivers Finlaggan’s signature heavily smoky and maritime style, combining pungent peat, sweet malt, iodine, lemon zest, tar and pepper with a rich, oily texture.

Food Pairing: Smoked brisket, grilled lamb, smoked salmon, oysters, mature cheddar or dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: Intense and full-bodied with rich peat smoke, maritime notes, sweet malt, citrus and pepper supported by tarry, ashy character.

Nose: Pungent peat smoke with smoky bacon and touches of aged leather.

Palate: Rich sweet smoke with iodine, lemon zest and an oily mouthfeel followed by waves of tarry peat.

Finish: Long and warming with peppery peat, soot and lingering ash.

Serve: Enjoy neat for maximum intensity, or add a small amount of water to open the whisky and soften its 58% cask-strength character.
