Description

First produced in 1972 when the Tobermory distillery was reopened after more than 40 years of silence. For a while all spirit produced was peated and called Ledaig. This changed soon enough and it became the name given to the peated malt produced at this distillery. It is only now becoming widely available as a single malt due to renewed investment and promotion by its owners. This limited edition Ledaig was distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2015, making it a 19-year-old single malt. It was matured in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. It is a remarkably peated whisky from the Isle of Mull.

Nose
Rich with fragrant smoke, toffee caramel, apple with a hint of mint and citrus notes. Honeyed and smoky with toasty bready maltiness, rubber, baked apple, and wine aromas. Bonfire peat, fruit, hazelnuts, salty licorice, waxiness, and roasted nuts.
Palate
Crackling peat sets off black pepper followed by a light sherry sweetness. Full-bodied, rich and dry with peaty smoke, toasty malt, nutmeg spice, baked apple, sweet wine notes, and faint mint jelly. Tangible bitter notes, subtle citrus, green apple peel, honey, walnuts, peppery tinge, dried apricots, and spearmint.
Finish
Smooth with a spicy salty tail and a peaty, smoky finale. Long, smoky, salty, and spicy with a light touch of sultana behind the smoky notes. Ash, straw, grass, meaty, and fatty flavors.
