Finlaggan
An anonymous single malt whisky designed to embody the spirit of Islay.
The Highlands & Islands Scotch Whisky Company Profile
Located in Milngavie, Glasgow, The Highlands & Islands Scotch Whisky Company Ltd. focuses its production on three brands, all single malts from undisclosed distilleries.
The Ileach is a peated Islay single malt whisky bottled at both 40% abv and at a cask strength of 58% abv.
Black Cuillin is an eight-year-old Hebridean Island single malt bottled at 40% abv, its name referring to the Cuillin Hills on the Isle of Skye, so quite possibly the whisky is from Talisker.
The Pibroch is Highlands & Islands third brand, another Islay single malt named after the famous diesel puffer that once carried grain to Islay on behalf of Scottish Malt Distillers. It is bottled at 43% abv, and is currently awaiting a full redesign and relaunch.
Highlands & Islands also owns independent bottler CS James, a holding company that produces the Islay Storm single malt.
