About this deal

From the color of Ledaig 18 alone, it appears the finish is much deeper and longer than most sherry-finished Islay whiskies, as well, and here we really see the best of both worlds — smoky peat meeting sweet sherry. long, pleasant, smoked fish, smoky, ash again, pepper, licorice, charcoal, sweet, tea and cherry tips. 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.

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.Another item that jumps in as "buy me". Something wonderful, tasty and fully polished. The whisky is delicate and pleasantly lingers with its flavors in the throat. mi Lagavulin therefore immediately becomes a must for me!

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Ledaig 18 ages in ex-bourbon casks for 16 years. Then it is transferred to sherry casks for a 2-year finish.

Powerful rich, sherried, herbal smoky flavours, orange peel, coffee, a touch of sea salt, tobacco and white pepper. Very complex nose, but with the typical Kuhstallgeruch of Ledaig, through which one must first fight through. On the nose: Firm yet gentle peat & smoke; hints of chocolate and coffee. Hints of lingering sulfur. Strawberry chocolate, dates, some sort of mint chocolate due to the pepperiness, and chocolate notes. Slight appearances of sultanas.
