- Description
- Ledaig (Tobermory's peated expression) aged for 20 years in a single hogshead from 1998 to 2018, then bottled at cask strength in this rare independent release by Càrn Mòr. The long maturation softens the island's characteristic smoke while allowing complex interactions between peat and wood to develop. Bottled at natural strength with only 237 bottles produced, this is a whisky for peat enthusiasts seeking nuance beyond raw intensity. A window into how time transforms Islay character.
