Description
The Tobermory Distillery, on the island of Mull, sits on the waterfront in the picturesque, and colourful, town of the same name (although those of you with young children may know it better as "Balamory"). Like so many others, the distillery, since its founding in 1798, has gone through several periods of closure, with this down-time accounting for nearly as much of its life as its periods of pro ... Ledaig is the name given to Tobermory's peated spirit, and this bottling showcases the style, featuring a luxurious Pedro Ximénez cask finish. This whisky is a 2007 vintage, having been aged for 12 years, producing a complex and powerfully flavoured dram. The final result is rich, smoky dram, that delivers notes of thick, oily peat, barbequed plums, ash, dried fruits, burnt malt, sweet sherry, coffee, nuts, leather, vanilla, sea spray figs and dark oak.
