A 2015 addition to the Finlaggan range, named Eilean Mor (those of you that know about Islay's geography will be familiar with that name). This expression has been bottled at a slightly higher strength than other Finlaggan release (not including the Cask Strength, of course).

The Maison DARROZE presents a unique creation with the Brandy Borderline Finish Chardonnay, an exceptional spirit produced in an ultra-limited edition of only 848 bottles. Crafted from a meticulous selection of Armagnacs from the 2018 harvest, this bold brandy pushes traditional boundaries. Its innovative finish in Burgundy Chardonnay barrels gives it a unique personality, subtly marked by fresh and fruity notes. With its bright golden-yellow color and elegant brown highlights, it captivates as much with its appearance as with its aromatic complexity. However, this spirit cannot be marketed under the "Armagnac" designation due to its final aging in an unconventional barrel.
Tasting notes
Nose
Rich with dark fruit, cherry, raisin, fig and Christmas pudding. Floral notes with lemongrass, citrus and a touch of nutmeg.
Taste
Sweet and smooth, with butterscotch, honey and peppercorn, dried fruit, maraschino cherries and brown sugar.
Finish
Ginger spices a touch of almond and earthiness.
To create the GlenAllachie Wine Cask series, master blender Billy Walker first matured the spirit in the finest American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before transferring the whisky into hand-selected European wine casks for secondary aging.
Billy added a distinctive touch to this edition by blending four exceptional wine cask finishes into one unique expression: The Cuvée Wine Cask Finish.
The 9-year-old Cuvée is a marriage of spirits from several fine wine barrels originating from the world-renowned regions of Bordeaux, Languedoc, and Valpolicella.
Cihuatán Alux is a limited edition rum inspired by the Mayan Legend of the Aluxes, guardian gods of the land. According to Mayan lore, these gods lived in maize and cacao fields, as these were regarder as the most sacred gifts of the earth. At the beginning of every harvest season, the Maya would hold an enchanting feast full of rich treats of chocolate and corn in gratitude to the Aluxes. Now as our gift for these guardian gods, our Master Blender has crafted this rum with notes of Mayan atole, cashew nuts, ginger, cinnamon sticks, roasted corn and chocolate mousse.
