Finlaggan Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl

Product Information

B and B-: Good and above average. The best of the mass market whiskeys fit in this category, as do the bulk of the premium brands. A B- is three stars.

Palate: Medium body. Alcohol burn upfront betrays its youth. Evolves into rice vinegar, sour candies, silty water, fresh green moss, and a pervading bitter smokiness. A few drops of water goes a long way to tame the alcohol. The water also brings out a little bit of vague fruit.

Fishing in Loch Finlaggan: For those with a penchant for fly fishing, Loch Finlaggan won’t disappoint. Its clear waters are home to brown trout and the water is quite shallow so it’s easy to wade out towards the middle.

If you live overseas or are unfamiliar with the national grocery chain Trader Joe’s, all you need to know is that Trader Joe’s is popular for having lots of fun stuff at very cheap prices. I started to understand. I started to love it. It was velvety smooth and had so much more complex flavors than the Speyside I was used to. It made Glenlivet bland.

The sherry cask finish is gentle, unremarkable but clean. I wish it had a bit more sherry. It has a shy nose, but opens up well with water to reveal a wisp of general Allspice. It ends quietly. Since entry-level whisky drinkers seem to love a whisky that disappears right away (“Smooth!” being the highest compliment for some reason) I’d say it’s an excellent beginner dram. It was too wussy for me, though, so it was my least favorite. The bourbon cask finish was my second favorite. I have a lot of respect for a no-nonsense dram. It has everything a first-fill bourbon cask finish is supposed to have; vanilla, honey, apple, mellow oakiness. You are responsible for all activities through your account.

To get Trader Joe’s to put their name on a product is a long and arduous process. The testing panels consist of several Trader Joe’s crew members—not top-level executives—and they are highly selective. Before a product gets the greenlight, it will go through the democratic tasting panel process 6-7 times!

The following indicators should be taken as only a guide and not a set of hard and fast rules. Some "premium" whiskeys really are quite terrible, while some mass market products are good enough to pour into a decanter and serve to the Duke of Edinburgh. A+: A masterpiece and one of the ten best whiskeys of its type. Above five stars.

One of the more recent distilleries on Islay.

At that time the politics of Scotland’s west coast islands were so far removed from the mainland they were regarded as being in an entirely separate kingdom from the rest of Alba (the Gaelic word for ‘country of the Scots’), and Somerled sought to expand his power far beyond the confines of the Scottish west coast. But the point that I wanted to make is that the typography on that jug for the words “Islay Malt” (with the I and M both italicized) are nigh-on identical to the typography you’ll find on Finlaggan, with the same italicization. One of Islay’s smallest distilleries but also one of its most popular thanks to the setting which overlooks the Isle of Jura. The distillery is open for summer tours and offers whisky-tasting experiences. Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates.

Finlaggan is best known as the centre of the medieval Lordship of the Isles. The MacDonald lords, descended from earlier kings of the Isles, ruled over vast territories in the west and north in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, threatening the Stewart kings’ hold over Scotland. They developed their own distinctive culture and lordship. By the time, this world emerged into the light of history. It was Gaelic-speaking, but its heavily militarised character – relying on control of the seas with clinker-built ships – was not much different from their Viking predecessors. On the nose: Dried honey, subtle. With water, salted pistachios, wet paint but in the way that makes you hungry, light cedar. There are three whisky distilleries nearby (Bunnahabhain, Ardnahoe and Caol Ila) that are well worth a visit.

Unlike the visitor centre which is only open March-October, the islands are open all year round and can be accessed via a wooden walkway through boggy reed beds. It won’t take long to walk there but there’s a surprising amount of insect life to see in the summer which youngsters will no doubt find particularly fascinating.
