Rum & Cane Longpond XO 23Y

Many years ago, they filled new make Finlaggan into Rioja Red Wine Hogsheads. Coming from the Rioja region within the Basque country of Spain, these Hogsheads have given the signature heavily peated Finlaggan an extra layer of rich mouth coating red berried fruit flavours. The result is a truly mouthwatering sweet and smoky dram to savour. The extrac-tion from the oak casks has given this whisky a beautifully rich natural coppery rose gold colour.

TASTING NOTES: NOSE: A bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, enhanced by indulgent notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak. A subtle hint of cinnamon and candied red fruits adds elegant depth. PALATE: The opening reveals flavors of blackberries, currants, and plums intertwining harmoniously. Gradually, soft spices emerge, accompanied by a textured richness. FINISH: Long and creamy, with a raspberry sweetness.

After 10 years in contact with the oak, Armagnac starts to take on the aromas of ageing.

Our malt is crafted slowly and is matured at the distillery in traditional dunnage warehouses on earthen floors. We're proud of our heritage and have used traditional methods since we rolled our first barrels back in 1790. And yet we're not afraid to tinker with tradition if it serves to improve our product. Our single malt is the perfect mix of nature and nurture and we believe in quality above all else.
