- Description
- Ledaig—Tobermory's peated expression—was fully matured in European oak red wine casks rather than merely finished, a rare approach that distinguishes this 9-year-old Mull single malt. Bordeaux cask influence adds wine-soaked berry notes and subtle tannin structure beneath Ledaig's characteristic peat smoke and iodine, creating an unusual interplay of earth and fruit. Bottled at cask strength (56.8% ABV), it delivers robust texture and warming alcohol presence without dilution. A specialized dram for those curious about how red wine oak shapes peated Highland character.
