Ledaig 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl

Product Information

The award is the latest addition to Ledaig 18-Year-Old’s trophy cabinet, having previously won gold awards at the 2022 and 2021 World Whisky Awards, being named the Best Scotch Islands Single Malt. Ledaig has a lot in common with Islay, namely the use of peated malt, but it cuts a much different figure than your typical Islay peat bombs. Primarily that is because this 18 year old malt is finished with sherry casks, a practice that is not unknown in Islay but which isn’t all that common. A lot of other people I know identify and look forward to visiting a city or country after seeing it in a movie, or perhaps due to its tourist attractions. I don’t. I usually avoid the tourist attractions that draw tourists, which brings me to remember another Bourdain quote from a Parts Unknown episode. Essentially, he says he recognizes every place by its food. Me too, Tony. Me too. Food and booze help transport me to other places.

Nose: seaweed notes and eucalyptus, followed by mineral smoke and oyster shells. Hints of brass polish. While there is a hint of berries and tobacco, the sherry is not very prominent. Then a firm sooty note comes forward, as well as a light farmy note. This cookie is set by Rubicon Project to control synchronization of user identification and exchange of user data between various ad services. Mouth: charred hints and wood spice with a certain sharp edge. Grassy notes, salt and lemons, as well as herbs and a floral top note. I expected more dark chocolate from the sherry, but it stays in the higher pitched flavours. Later some smoked bacon, liquorice and vanilla come out, as well as some asphalt.

We’re so excited to have Ledaig 18 recognised by industry experts once again.

Whisky under the Ledaig brand is peated single malt by Tobermory distillery from the Isle of Mull in Scotland. The distillery founded in 1798, having undergone a number of periods of closure, was formerly known as Ledaig. A very one-faced whisky. It’s surprising that a peated whisky this old still has a fiery peat and smoke flavor. The peat of other 18-year-old peated whiskeys I’ve had have mellowed down to nuttier notes. Tobermory distillery is located on the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of mainland Scotland, the second largest of a group of islands that make up the Inner HebridesThe distillery produces 3 spirits, unpeated Tobermory Whisky, peated and smoky Ledaig and Botanical gins. Ledaig, named after the distillery location in Tobermory bay, pronounced (Led-chig), means 'afe haven’ in Gaelic. Ledaig 18 ages in ex-bourbon casks for 16 years. Then it is transferred to sherry casks for a 2-year finish.If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

I bought this Ledaig 18 Batch 3 Spanish Sherry Wood Finish for around P8,000 locally. Yup, way above the regular price, but I was asked to buy something interesting for a family gathering. This is bottled at 46.3% and is unchillfiltered, said to be released in 2016. If Whiskybase is correct on this bottling date, then local drinkers really have a lot of room to improve when it comes to knowing what to drink. They are missing out.
