The Finlaggan Cask Strength is an iconic peated whisky from the Isle of Islay, bottled at its natural strength of 58%, without dilution or chill filtration. Derived from Islay's best-kept secrets, this mysterious single malt captivates enthusiasts with its raw intensity and distinctly maritime character. Known for its excellent value for money, it is a must-have reference for lovers of powerful and authentic whiskies, ready to explore the wild flavors of this legendary Scottish island.
To extract all the delicate aromas from elderflower blossoms, the production of Merlet's Efferlet follows a precise process. First, the flowers are infused in hot water; once the tisane is cooled, it is stabilized with fine alcohol. This is followed by blending with fruit infusions (pear and lychee macerated in fine alcohol).
Bottled to its natural degree, this rum has an incredible charm. Like a painter, it reveals all the treasures it contains, one by one.
Pusser's Navy Rum is the emblematic brand of rum that was served daily on the warships of the British Royal Fleet and refined as it travelled through the tropics.
Botran Solera 18Y is a rum aged at high altitude in the mountains of Guatemala. It comes from a blend of rums between 5 and 18 years old and has benefited from Solera-type aging. The American oak casks used for the Solera are former Sherry and Port casks. Furthermore, the aging cellars are located at an altitude of 2,300 meters, which aims to intensify the aging, thus developing delicate aromas of vanilla, tobacco, and sandalwood.
This 7-year-old Irish Single Malt whiskey from Glendalough in Wicklow was matured in American Bourbon barrels and finished in Japanese Mizunara barrels from Hokkaido, in the volcanic north of Japan. The Mizunara barrels were custom-made for this project by skilled coopers in Japan. The exceptional combination of Irish whiskey in Japanese wood barrels makes it a very interesting whiskey.
The star of "bleutiful" aperitifs! An aperitif crafted through the maceration of green anise, star anise, and licorice, inspired by the blue skies of Provence and the Mediterranean. Provence is the only place in the world where the aperitif combines the sea, gastronomy, and the art of living with sport, thanks to pétanque. The aperitif thus becomes a unique moment that brings together friends and family, where several generations gather to share convivial moments enriched by the charm Marcel Pagnol has accustomed us to.
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 whisky comes from an undisclosed distillery on Islay - it's a closely guarded secret as to which one...
