Finlaggan Old Reserve
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: The Vintage Malt Whisky Company
ABV: 40%
Score: 83 Points
This single malt comes from an undisclosed Islay distillery, and the nose has notes of soft peat, honey, heather, and a hint of sea breeze. The taste starts off soft, followed by a gentle rush of peat smoke and honey with a touch of bacon and a hint of lemon zest. The finish is soft and gentle with a nice slow fade. (January, 2014)
