Lagg Small Batch Manzanilla Sherry Finish

Lagg Small Batch Manzanilla Sherry Finish is a limited-edition, heavily peated single malt from Lagg Distillery on Scotland's Isle of Arran. Initially matured in first- and second-fill bourbon barrels before spending over a year in first-fill Manzanilla Sherry casks, this expression brings together bold peat smoke and distinctive coastal character. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.6% ABV, it offers layers of sweet cherries, spiced red fruit, honey and salty minerality, balanced by earthy smoke and a long, warming finish.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, grilled oysters, roasted pork, aged Manchego, salted almonds or dark chocolate with sea salt.

Tasting Notes: Rich peat smoke, sweet cherries, spiced red fruit, honey, coastal salinity and toasted oak.

Nose: Aromas of cherry syrup, sweet malt, gentle peat smoke, coastal air and warming spice.

Palate: Full-bodied and expressive, with honeyed sweetness, ripe red berries, maraschino cherries, cracked pepper and a savoury mineral character.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering bonfire smoke, sea salt, dry oak and delicate fruit sweetness.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass, allowing time for the aromas to develop. Add a few drops of water to soften the cask strength and reveal additional fruit and maritime notes.
