Description

Finlaggan Old Reserve The Vintage is a fruity and lightly peaty Islay Single Malt Scotch. It is produced and bottled by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, located in the town of Milngavie, 15 kilometers north of Glasgow. VMWC was founded in 1992 by Brian Cook with the aim of promoting and promoting traditionally produced malts from Scotland's finest distilleries worldwide. There are now only about twenty family-run whisky distilleries, and only a dozen of these use artisanal techniques. The survival of the independent distilleries is entrusted to The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, which is not tied to any particular production area. Among the flagship bottles are the Highland Glenalmond and especially the Finlaggan, a Single Malt from the queen of peats, the island of Islay. The Vintage Malt Whisky Finlaggan Old Reserve is still shrouded in mystery: all we know is that the Single Malt comes from Islay, but the producer has taken care not to indicate the specific distillery, active or inactive. Connoisseurs suspect it could be a Laphroaig, a Caol Ila, or an 8-year-old Lagavulin. In any case, The Vintage Malt Finlaggan Old Reserve whisky doesn't even include an age statement, further deepening the mystery. Due to its lightly smoky notes, the bottle is appreciated by palates unaccustomed to heavily peated Scotches.

From this winery
  • Bottles produced: 1.200.000
With the aim of creating a selection of Scottish malt whiskey products in the best distilleries on the island, in 1992, Mr. Brian Crook founded the "The Vintage Malt Whiskey Company" - VMWC, whereby all the world's importers can easily find the most prestigious Scottish distillers, in order to redistribute them for retail. While over a century ago there were more than 120 distilleries in Scotland, most of them family-run, at present, only 17 or 18 distilleries still produce malt whiskey following traditional processes, and these are very family-owned. The remaining distilleries are, in fact, controlled by multinational companies. In this scenario, the VMWC takes on the role of being the guarantor of small family-run distilleries, which produce, if desired, the most original and authentic Scots Whiskeys. This approach has led the VMWC to expand its market by exporting up to one million and two hundred thousand Whiskey bottles in 20 countries and making the world's rarest and most sought-after Scottish whiskey known.
