Being named Best Scotch Islands (non-Islay) Single Malt at the World Whisky Awards 2021 is no small feat, and this amazing peated expression from the Tobermory Distillery deserves every bit of recognition, if not more.
Peated malt made at the Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull. Over the last few years, Ledaig has consistently shown that they make pretty outstanding drams. A wonderfully smoky island Single Malt Scotch whisky which balances sweet and floral aromas with the richness and warmth of sea salt and smoke.
NOSE: Rich, fruity sherried smokiness, lovely balance of phenols, seaweed and light creosote, dried chilli flakes, spicy black pepper with hints of sweet oakiness.
PALATE: Powerful rich, sherried, herbal smoky flavours, orange peel, coffee, a touch of sea salt, tobacco and white pepper.
FINISH: Long and quite pungent with more smoke, a hint of liquorice and sea spray.
