Lagg Distillery Palo Cortado Finish - Small Batch

Lagg Distillery Palo Cortado Finish - Small Batch

Step into the smoky, peated future of Arran whisky with this bold small batch from Lagg Distillery, matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in rare Palo Cortado sherry casks from Jerez, Spain. This isn't just a finish,  it's a transformation.

Lagg is Isle of Arran’s answer to full-bodied, heavily peated drams, and this limited edition is a fiery handshake between island smoke and Andalusian elegance. Expect rich waves of earthy peat rolling in over warm, nutty sherry notes. Think roasted hazelnuts, toffee-drenched raisins, and smouldering oak embers, all brought together with a coastal salinity that roots this dram firmly in its windswept island terroir.

Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural colour and cask strength (if available), this is a whisky for those who crave complexity, rarity and depth,  a modern smoky classic in the making.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Earthy peat smoke, orange peel, toasted almonds, treacle tart and a hint of sea breeze.

• Palate: Creamy mouthfeel with layers of dried apricots, toffee, clove, and dark chocolate. The Palo Cortado influence brings nuttiness and a wine-soaked richness that wraps around the smoke.

• Finish: Long, warm, and evolving, peat, spice, and dry fruit tannins linger with a touch of salinity and toasted oak.
