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...

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.

The aged rum Botran Roaju celebrates the exceptional heritage of the Botran Merino brothers, visionary pioneers who left the fertile lands of Duero in Spain to establish their roots in the heart of Guatemala. This liquid gem embodies the captivating first expression of the Roaju cuvée, a meticulous blend of rums aged in barrels steeped in history. The magic of Botran lies in the expert use of various casks: ex-Bourbon barrels, re-charred Bourbon barrels, ex-Sherry barrels, and ex-Port barrels, following a dynamic aging method. Refined in ex-Spanish wine barrels from Burgos, this rum offers a unique identity, rich in nuances and character.

Maguey tobala (Agave potatorum) grows wildly at high altitudes and it is often cultivated as well. Its relatively minuscule size yields extremely limited quantities of intensely aromatic mezcal. Due to its tiny size and long growing period (12-15 years), Maguey tobalá is becoming increasingly rare in some regions. Unlike most other maguey, tobala does not produce hijuelos, which are the shoots or pups that sprout around the main plant once it has matured. For this reason, tobala can only grow from seed.

This difference in sunlight is amplified over the 12-15 years it takes for the plants to reach maturity, and the two ...
