- Description
- Ledaig is Tobermory's heavily peated expression, and this eight-year-old from May 2008 spent its maturation in a refill sherry butt before bottling at cask strength. Smoke and maritime character meet dried fruit and spice from the sherry wood, creating a balanced tension between peat and sweetness. For those seeking restrained Island peat without overwhelming intensity, paired with contemplation or rich chocolate.
