The Lagg Distillery on the Isle of Arran extends its exploration of smoky single malts with the release of Lagg Small Batch . This latest expression, the Lagg Manzanilla Finish Small Batch Whisky, follows the earlier Palo Cortado Small Batch and highlights the distillery’s commitment to marrying its peated profile with fortified wine cask maturation.
Bottled at an intense 57.6% ABV, the whisky benefits from finishing in Manzanilla sherry casks. This choice of cask accentuates the delicate saltiness and dryness characteristic of Manzanilla, harmonizing with the distillery’s smoky core to create a nuanced interplay between peat and sherry influences. The Lagg Manzanilla Finish Small Batch stands as a testament to the innovative use of fortified wine casks in peated whisky maturation.
