- Description
- This 1997 Ledaig from Tobermory's peated range was matured in two hogshead casks for 16 years before Càrn Mòr's 2013 bottling, combining maritime peat with maritime depth characteristic of Island distilling. The peat is present but balanced, allowing underlying notes of brine, iodine, and subtle spice to emerge alongside gentle wood influence. The mouthfeel is robust and warming, with a long maritime finish. Essential for collectors of peated Island malts with genuine age and character.
