Product details
A very cool opportunity to try a whisky that’s not easy to get hold of! This is a peated Ledaig single malt from Isle of Mull’s Tobermory distillery, limited to just 2,753 bottles available either only at the distillery itself or on Master of Malt (which powers Pour & Sip!). The final year of its 12 years of maturation was spent finishing in amarone wine casks, adding a dose of rich, spicy tannins to the sweet, smoky, and distinctly maritime whisky.
Found on the Isle of Mull, back in the day Tobermory was originally called Ledaig (pronounced “Led-chig”), which is now the name of the distillery’s peated releases! The Ledaig distillery was founded in 1798 by John Sinclair, and it opened and closed a few times until Tobermory Distillery was opened in 1990.

Nose
Aromatic smoke leads into sweeter notes of vanilla custard, caramelised nuts, and drying baking spices.
Palate
Set honey and dulce de leche sweetness is balanced by tannic oak, rocky salinity, and wood smoke.
Finish
The smoke tails off, and black pepper warmth lingers.
