Arran Machrie Moor Fingal's Cut Sherry Cask Finish
Single Malt — Islands, Scotland
Reviewed April 14, 2023Dod they take the sherry out before they filled these casks? Wow! Its dark - a deep sherry-red brown - and powerfully sweet. At cask strength it packs a punch too. -
Almond and nutty flavours to the fore with some cherry and dried fruit on the palate - raisins, cranberries and a hint of cocoa. M&S claim this is “reminiscent of Christmas cake, which makes it a perfect winter drink”. I’m not sure it’s perfect, but is palatable at £16 for a 50cl (pretty) bottle.16.0 GBP per BottleM&S Simply Food

Smoked sea salt and wisps of barbecue smoke on the nose. The palate begins clean and quite sweet - almost piney - then develops with liquorice and the characteristic peat smoke. It’s light, a telling character of many of the blends Caol Ila is used in, but builds with a little more spice - some cinnamon and allspice. The finish leaves behind those wisps of smoke, a pleasant seaweed and brine. A very drinkable peated Islay.38.0 GBP per BottleTesco Superstore
