Description
It is a closely guarded secret which distillery the Finlaggan is from but it is certainly a cracking Islay whisky. The Vintage Malt Whisky Company tell us 'Many years ago, in a first for our company, we filled new make Finlaggan into Rioja Red Wine Hogsheads. Coming from the Rioja region within the Basque country of Spain, these Hogsheads have given our signature heavily peated Finlaggan an extra layer of rich mouth coating red berried fruits. The result is a truly mouthwatering sweet and smoky dram to savour.
