A mystery Islay single malt bottled at a hefty 58% by Finlaggan’s owners the Vintage Malt Whisky Co. We don’t know what this is, but we have our suspicions and there’s no mystery about what a bargain this is.
A cask strength single malt, no one knows which distillery this has come from, Finlaggan remains a very closely-guarded secret.
The Vintage Malt Whisky
Was founded in 1992 by Brian Crook, after many years in the whisky industry as Export Director for one of Scotland’s best known distillers. His aim was to produce a range of malt whiskies from his country’s finest distilleries and make them available to independent wine and spirit importers throughout the world.
Brian’s approach proved so popular with customers that, 25 years on, the company has exported more than 10 million bottles of malt whisky to more than 30 countries across the world, and is now recognised as one of Scotland’s leading independent bottlers.
The brands owned by Highlands & Islands Scotch Whisky Co joined the group in 1997, and in 2005 the company acquired CS James & Sons, producers of Islay Storm.
The group’s award winning brands include Finlaggan, The Ileach, and Islay Storm, all single malts from the island of Islay on the west coast of Scotland and The Cooper’s Choice, a superb range of single cask bottlings.
