Finlaggan Old Reserve Single Malt Whisky, 700ml, 40% ABV, 1990s #138

Named after the ancient castle towering over Islay, Finlaggan is synonymous with "secret Islay" distilleries, captivating whisky lovers worldwide. Based on the label design and the labeling style used by importer Kinoshita International Co., Ltd., this bottle is believed to be an early, highly prized single malt from the 1990s, on the eve of the global boom in Islay malt. While Finlaggan today typically features a strong peaty aroma, this bottle from this era is distinctive for its exceptionally well-balanced finish, blending the soft sweetness of the malt with refined elegance while retaining the distinctive sea breeze nuances of Islay.

The original whiskey was likely to come from the Caol Ila distillery, boasting one of Islay's largest production volumes yet a clean and elegant spirit. Its delicate yet profound flavor sets it apart from the powerful smokiness of recent whiskeys. On the palate, the gentle peat smoke gently passes through the nose, and the rich malty flavor, suggesting the maturity of aging, lingers on the finish. In Japan at the time, this single malt was popular as a choice for everyday enjoyment. Today, due to the high quality of the original whiskey, it is highly regarded among enthusiasts as a rare specimen that allows one to fully appreciate the unique depth of flavor only found in old bottles. This exceptional gem truly deserves to be called a collector's item, conveying the weight of Islay malt history and the aesthetic of harmony pursued by the craftsmen of the time.
