Finlaggan Islay Single Malt Whisky Eilean Mor, 0.7L 46% History and production of Finlaggan Eilean Mor: Loch Finlaggan is a lake about 1 km long on the Scottish island of Islay, which is famous all over the world for the smoky whiskies produced there. Its elongated shape and the three small islands in the middle of the lake are particularly characteristic. The largest of these is Eilean Mor. Ruins can still be found on Eilean Mor today, which were built in the Middle Ages and date back to the Gaelic-Scottish island princes "Lord of the Isles". The seat of power, Finlaggan Castle, gives the whisky presented here its name. There is no Finlaggan distillery on Islay itself. Rather, Finlaggan whiskies come from one of the eight well-known Islay distilleries. Which one exactly is still a closely guarded secret, surrounded by many myths and legends. What is certain, however, is that Finlaggan bottlings always use highly aromatic, smoky single malt whiskies from Islay. The Finlaggan Eilean Mor is bottled and distributed by the Scottish company "The Vintage Malt Whisky Company LTD". This smoky single malt Scotch was stored for many years in former bourbon barrels made of American white oak and is bottled at a strong 46% alcohol by volume. Taste of the Finlaggan Eilean Mor: When nosing, the Finlaggan Eilean Mor shows the characteristic aromas that are typical of whiskies from the island of Islay. Light smoky notes, reminiscent of campfires and burnt grass, are accompanied by a pleasant honey sweetness and the scent of fresh mint. In the background, hints of cloves, ginger and dried fruit can be detected. The sweet peat smoke remains in the mouth. If you give the Finlaggan Eilean Mor a little time, you can experience a great development in taste. Then spicy notes of seaweed, oak, nutmeg, olives in brine and nuts appear. Vanilla, caramel and a hint of toasted bread also ensure an enormous variety of aromas. All of the notes combine harmoniously to create a work of art. It is precisely this complexity and balance that Islay whiskies are valued for all over the world. The finish is long-lasting and oily with a distinct spiciness. For fans of smoky Islay single malt whiskies, the Finlaggan Eilean Mor is without question an absolute must.
