Finlaggan Old Reserve 6 Years is an enigma wrapped in Islay smoke, a single malt from the Vintage Malt Whisky Co. that belies the identity of its distillery of origin, fueling its fascination among enthusiasts. This golden yellow, copper-tinged whisky unleashes a rich bouquet of peat, seaweed and sweet notes of honey and biscuit, with a spicy undercurrent. Aged for around 6 years in oak casks, it offers a robust, smoky palate, balanced by sweet cereals and a touch of ginger, with a warm, lingering finish. Perfect for those who enjoy the bold character of Islay at an affordable price, it is the ideal companion for thoughtful evenings or connoisseur tastings.
Production Method Traditional distillation in a secret distillery on Islay, using malted barley smoked with local peat. Estimated ageing of 6 years in oak casks (probably ex-bourbon), bottled at 40% abv with possible addition of E150a colouring (common practice for consistency).
Pairings Dark chocolate, oysters, smoked cheeses.
