Eilean Mor is a 2015 release from Finlaggan, a brand of whisky from an undisclosed Islay distillery. Bottled at a higher strength than the Old Reserve, this expertly balances smoke and fruit.

Finlaggan is very much the SECRET Islay, as the name of the distillery from which it comes is a closely guarded secret and known to only a select few. 

Colour: Very pale straw with lemony-yellow highlights. 

Nose: Full & pungent with an earthy smokiness & fresh hints of ozone. 

Flavour: Dry, smoky & fresh, clean & big-bodied. Finish: Long & smooth with a smoky-burnt oakiness & a very slight edge of richness.

This single malt Scotch whisky is sourced from an undisclosed distillery on the Isle of Islay, presented for the Finlaggan range. Absolutely fabulous value for money if you're after that genuine Islay peat hit.

Nose: Lovely pungent peat smoke.  Smoky bacon with a touch of old leather.

Palate:  Rich sweet smoke.  Iodine, lemon zest with a beautiful mouth coating oiliness.  Waves of Tarry Peat.

Finish:  Peppery peat.  Soot and ash.  Long and warming.

The Finlaggan range features single malt Scotch whisky from an undisclosed Islay distillery, bottled by the Vintage Malt Whisky Company. The range has seen a few expansions in recent years - this early 2016 release has enjoyed a finishing period in port casks, resulting in yummy, wine-like sweetness blending with the smoky, coastal peat.

This single malt whisky was aged exclusively in red wine hogsheads from Rioja. This has added dark fruit and spiced elements to the classic peat smoke that Islay whisky is known for.  

Released in 2016, this is a small batch release of Finlaggan which is finished in sherry casks and bottled at 46% vol, for a ripe smoky flavour.

Tasting Notes: 

Nose: rich peat smoke, and big ripe fruits. Old leather and a hint of tobacco.
