would this be. Bottled at 40% ABV with a bright gold color. I have it glass by glass with Bowmore Small Batch to compare. After a few seconds I got to point that both of them are completely different.
About Finlaggan:
Nose: a serious punch of peat smoke (much stronger than Bowmore), new tennis balls (similar to Laphroaig), bananas, dried apples, dried apricots, an impression of an old attic.
Palate: peat, coffee, burnt caramel, bitter chocolate, ashes from a fireplace, stewed apples, apricot seeds.
Finish: caramel, coffee liquor, orange zest, smoke. Medium long and pleasant.
Thank you Christian. It's very interesting Whisky.
84/100

Ich habe diesen Whisky als einen Geschenk bekommen. Er kommt aus Islay. Ich habe keine Ahnung was das für eine Brennerei ist. Er hat 40% ABV. Farbe: Gold.
Ich trinke ihn mit den Bowmore Small Batch zusammen weil ich sie beide vergleichen möchte. Schon nach ein paar Sekunden habe ich mitgekriegt dass sie beide ganz unterschiedlich sind.
Jetzt über den Finlaggan:
Nase: ein richtiges Rauch-Hit (viel stärker als Bowmore), neue Tennisbälle (ähnlich wie Laphroaig), Bananen, getrockne Äpfel und Aprikosen. ein Eindruck von einem alten Dachboden
Körper: Torf, Kaffee, gebrannter Karamell, bitter Schokolade, Asche, gebackene Äpfel, Aprikosenkerne
Finish: Karamell, Kaffelikör, Orangenschale, Rauch. Medium Lang und angenehm.
Christian, danke dir für diesen zuckersüßen Whisky.
