Eilean Mor Islay Single Malt - Finlaggan

The Eilean Mor Islay Single Malt seduces with a deep golden colour that reflects its noble character. Aromatic notes of smoky peat and maritime accents make every sip an experience. Lush aromas of sweet caramel and honey blend harmoniously with a spiciness of black pepper and a hint of vanilla. The flavour unfolds richly and complexly, with the smoky elements together with fine citrus notes and a hint of nuts creating a perfect balance. A touch of toasted wood rounds off the tasting experience and leaves a long-lasting, pleasurable finish.

Production of the Eilean Mor Islay Single Malt by Finlaggan

The production of the Eilean Mor Islay Single Malt follows a traditional method that captures the essence of Scottish whisky culture. The main ingredients consist of high-quality malted barley and pure spring water from the Highlands. This water brings out the mineral notes that are so typical of the region.

The distillation process takes place in copper pot stills, which gently extract the aromas. This method not only ensures the purity of the desired flavour, but also gives the whisky its characteristic smoothness. After distillation, the whisky matures in carefully selected casks that previously held bourbon and sherry. This cask maturation further develops the aromas and gives Eilean Mor its unmistakable, complex character.

The various steps in the production process include:

1. Selection of the finest malted barley
2. Milling and drying of the barley
3. Fermentation with carefully selected yeast strains
4. Distillation in copper pot stills
5. Maturation in special casks
