- Description
- Aged in a 1972 cask, Ledaig's 42 years speak volumes about its commitment to maturation. With 'Smokey' and 'Old Wood' tags, it's a distillation of time itself at 46.2% ABV. This £9000 bottle either signals the peak of aged whisky or perhaps a vault best left unopened. Mastery of the sherry influence is evident, at least on paper.
