Ledaig 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl

Product Information

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. We’re so excited to have Ledaig 18 recognised by industry experts once again. I’m so proud of each and every member of the Tobermory team for continuously creating such wonderful and distinctive expressions that reflect our beautiful island home.” 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. Under the Tobermory distillery name, the artisan Hebridean Distiller produces Tobermory Whisky and Ledaig Single Malts and, for the first time in its history, Tobermory Gin, which includes its Mountain, Coast and Hebridean expressions. Today, it is a thriving, expressive and unique distillery, true to its idyllic location on the Hebridean island of Mull. It is a homage to days gone by, an attempt at recreating the malt that made the distillery successful in the first place.

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.On a side note, private entities were just allowed to start making their own alcohol a few years ago. I have seen someone make mead, and there are now a couple of gin distillers, too. Brass Lion, one of the gin makers, just barreled their first batch of Singaporean single malt in the middle of 2018.

(“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). Although not as strong as many peated malts out there, Ledaig is full of flavour and is a top quality malt. Brendan McCarron, Master Distiller at Tobermory Distillery said: “Ledaig is one of our more heavily peated, smoky whiskies that has a really distinctive flavour. Named after an area of land in which our distillery was founded in the 1790s, it’s one of Tobermory Distillery’s cult whiskies and an expression we’re very proud of. Ledaig 18 is true example of our Hebridean artistry and transports drinkers on a journey to Mull, showcasing the very best of the island that inspires every drop that comes from the distillery.
