Ledaig 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl

Product Information

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. Tobermory Distillery’s Ledaig 18-Year-Old has been hailed as ‘Whisky of the Year’ by The Whisky Exchange. Established in 1798, Tobermory is the Isle of Mull's only whisky distillery and one of the oldest commercial distilleries in Scotland. It sits at the centre of the vibrant island community from which it takes its name. If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Ledaig — pronounced, seemingly impossibly, as “letch-igg”— is produced at Tobermory, the only distillery on the Isle of Mull, which is a bit north of Islay on the western Scottish coast.

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. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service.

We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. 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. 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. 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.
