Manzanilla Sherry Finish 57.6% ABV

About

Lagg Manzanilla Sherry Finish represents a bold exploration of contrasts from this Isle of Arran distillery. This single malt marries Lagg's signature heavily peated character with the fresh, coastal elegance of Manzanilla sherry—a lighter, more delicate style sourced from Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain's Jerez region. The result is a compelling interplay between robust smokiness and subtle maritime complexity. On the nose, sweet syrup and maraschino cherries emerge with gentle warmth. The palate opens with hot honey, red fruits, and cherry syrup, beautifully balanced by a light salty edge that prevents cloying sweetness. The finish is long and warming, revealing ashen smoke, dryness, and a briny whisper that echoes the whisky's unique cask journey. Bottled at cask strength (57.6% ABV) without chill filtration or colour adjustment, this is whisky in its most authentic form.
