Finlaggan Red Wine Cask Matured
A Distinctive Islay Single Malt
Finlaggan Red Wine Cask Matured is a bold expression of Islay single malt whisky. Crafted on the legendary whisky island, it balances powerful peat smoke with vibrant fruity notes. Matured in Rioja red wine hogsheads from Spain’s Basque Country, this release adds a unique depth to the Finlaggan whisky range. Bottled at 46% ABV and non chill-filtered, it delivers an authentic taste experience prized by whisky enthusiasts.
Heritage and Legacy
The name Finlaggan holds deep cultural significance. Loch Finlaggan on Islay was once the seat of the mighty Lords of the Isles. These rulers shaped Scottish history, giving Finlaggan whisky a direct connection to tradition. Today, the Finlaggan Trust protects this historic site, while The Vintage Malt Whisky Company continues the legacy through premium Islay whiskies.
Tasting Experience
The nose opens with smoky peat intertwined with ripe red berries, dried fruits, and a hint of oaky vanilla. On the palate, expect salty notes of smoked meat alongside sweet layers of plum jam, red grapes, and orange marmalade. Earthy peat smoke adds complexity, creating a rich and memorable balance. The finish is long, with lingering bonfire smoke, grape skin tannins, and sweet malt that lingers beautifully.
