Finlaggan Red Wine Cask
The Vintage Malt Whisky Company
Tasting Notes
Indulge in the captivating fusion of peat and fruit with the Finlaggan Red Wine Cask single malt whisky. This Islay-born dram beckons with a smoky yet alluring aroma, intertwining peaty notes with the sweetness of red berries, hints of dried fruit, and a whisper of oaky vanilla. The palate unveils a symphony of flavors, where a salty, savory note of smoked meat dances against a backdrop of sweet fruit – plum jam, red grapes, orange marmalade, and an array of berries, all enshrouded by an earthy peat smoke. As the whisky lingers on the finish, sweet malt and grape skin join forces with the warmth of a crackling bonfire, leaving a lasting impression. Matured exclusively in red wine hogsheads from Spain's Rioja region, this expression adds an intricate fruity dimension to the heavily peated character, creating a uniquely harmonious and unforgettable experience in every sip.
