About Finlaggan Single Cask Sms Port Finish
Finlaggan Single Cask Port Finish is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky from Duggan's Distillers, bottled at 46% ABV without age statement and released in 2016 as a small batch expression. What makes it special is the masterful port cask finish that layers wine-like sweetness, red berry fruits, and rich complexity over its traditional smoky, medicinal peat base, creating a balanced fusion of coastal Islay character and fruity elegance. Ideal for peat enthusiasts seeking an accessible yet intriguing twist on classic Islay profiles, or newcomers to heavily peated whiskies wanting sweetness to temper the smoke. At $56.01 for 750ml, it offers exceptional value compared to pricier port-finished Islay malts like those from Ardbeg or Laphroaig, delivering premium complexity in the budget single cask category without compromising depth or authenticity.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Intense smoky peat smoke greets the nose, laced with medicinal maritime notes, seaweed, and coastal brine. Red berries, summer fruits, and a touch of sherry sweetness emerge, complemented by hints of bonfire smoke, herbs, and subtle vanilla. Full-bodied aroma with smoky bacon and citrus undertones adds intriguing layers.
👅 Palate
The palate explodes with rich sweet smoke and peaty depth, where port cask influence brings raspberries, strawberries, and wine-like red fruit sweetness. Mouthcoating and chewy texture balances medicinal peat with chocolate, spices, and malt, offering complexity beyond straightforward Islay styles. Coastal peat harmonizes beautifully with the fruity finish cask.
✨ Finish
Long and satisfying, with lingering sweet smoke, peat embers, and fading red berry sweetness. Well-balanced and mouthwatering peat persists elegantly.
