Finlaggan Old Reserve Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Finlaggan Old Reserve is a peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company from whisky produced at an undisclosed Islay distillery. Bottled at 40% ABV without an age statement, Old Reserve is designed around classic Islay character, delivering peat smoke, maritime notes and medicinal touches alongside sweet malt, citrus and warming spice. The identity of the producing distillery is deliberately kept secret, making the whisky’s origins part of the Finlaggan character.
