- Description
- Ledaig's peated spirit, distilled in 2001 and aged 21 years with a finishing period in a Margaux wine cask, captures Tobermory's maritime character alongside wine-driven complexity. Bottled at natural strength (57.4% ABV) without chill filtration, the whisky shows layered smoke, dark fruit, and briny edges with considerable depth. A rare island malt for experienced palates seeking peat married with sophisticated wine influence.
