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.

They have captured the perfect island malt, with lots of seaside tones and a light body. There is a waft of smoke throughout with a healthy dose of fruit thrown in for good measure.Opened this with a friend and we could barely hold a conversation as each time one of us took a sip we had to stop to say how good it was. They are doused in sherry and cinnamon, which gives a delicate spice and a hint of warmth to the overall dram. Singapore has a lot of great whisky bars like The Wall, The Auld Alliance, The Single Cask, Swan Song and Quaich Bars. The whisky community there are a nice and enthusiastic bunch. A lot of them don’t take themselves too seriously, despite their being knowledgeable and opinionated. There are a good mix of people who can throw up money for bottles like Karuizawas and Macallans. There are also those “hipster” drinkers who go for the less famous brands. They are my kind of people.

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. Tobermory Distillery’s Ledaig 18-Year-Old has been hailed as ‘Whisky of the Year’ by The Whisky Exchange. 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. This award-winning whisky was first matured for 16 years in ex-bourbon casks before being finished for 2 years in the finest sherry casks, giving the whisky delicious sweet and fruity notes. This year’s shortlist included a mix of whiskies from the Highlands to the island, showcasing some bold flavours including Jura 18 Year Old, which won the runner up prize, Old Pulteney 15 Year Old and Oban 14 Year old. After an expert panel carried out a blind tasting, Ledaig 18 Year Old was the winner.

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. Although not as strong as many peated malts out there, Ledaig is full of flavour and is a top quality malt.
