DESCRIPTION

A single cask release from the Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull, bottled by independent bottler Berry Bros. & Rudd, a British wine and spirits merchant that dates back over 300 years to 1698, as part of their Coast & Shores collection. Named after one of the distillery's previous names, Ledaig is produced using peated (30-40ppm) concerto barley. Distilled in 2009 and matured for 15 years including a finish in an Oloroso sherry hogshead before bottling. Only 270 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at a cask strength of 58.1%. (Bottle size 70cl)

OFFICIAL TASTING NOTES

Nose: On the nose, damp turf and bonfire embers set the scene.

Palate: The palate reveals wood spice and smoked bacon, complemented by saline peat. The Oloroso cask adds a comforting layer of muscovado sugar and dried fruits, akin to the warmth of a pair of cosy socks in a fierce winter storm.

Finish: The finish brings together these smoky and sweet notes, before gently fading into the distance.
