Finlaggan Sherry Finished Single malt - 70cl - Finlaggan

The Finlaggan Sherry Finished Single Malt is a fascinating and intense expression from the historic Isle of Islay, renowned for its peaty and distinctive whiskies. This particular single malt from Finlaggan, known for its artisanal production, offers a unique experience, finished in barrels that previously contained Sherry.

From the bottle emerges a deep amber color, a testament to its rest in Sherry barrels, which not only impart color but also enrich the aromatic profile of the whisky. On the nose, there are lively notes of dried fruit, such as raisins and plums, mixed with classic hints of peat and light smoke, typical of Islay single malts.

On the palate, the Finlaggan Sherry Finished is complex and layered. The entry is smooth, with an initial sweetness reminiscent of honey and caramel, quickly balanced by a lively spiciness of cinnamon and nutmeg. The peat, never dominating but always present, intertwines with the tastes of dark fruit steeped in sherry, leading to a long and lingering finish that leaves a pleasant smoky aftertaste mixed with velvety sweetness.

This whisky is ideal for those looking for an Islay single malt with a twist, thanks to its finish in Sherry barrels that bring richness and complexity without overpowering the original character of the distillate. Perfect to be enjoyed alone or accompanied by dark chocolate to further enhance its smoky and fruity notes.

A distillate that represents an excellent choice for whisky lovers in search of intense profiles rich in nuances, the Finlaggan Sherry Finished is a testament to the perfect marriage between the robustness of Islay and the refinement of Sherry barrels.
