Ledaig 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Intro

Awarded The Whisky Exchange 'Whisky of the Year' for 2023, Ledaig 18 is a smoky island whisky which balances sweet and floral aromas with the richness and warmth of sea salt and smoke

Description

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.

Like all the whiskies produced at Tobermory Distillery, this is non-chillfiltered and natural colour.  Bottled at 46.3% ABV, this sits in our Ledaig (peated whisky) core range, alongside Ledaig 10-Year-Old and Ledaig Sinclair Series: Rioja Cask Finish.   

Tasting Notes

Colour

Copper Gold 

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.
