Description
This 2005 Ledaig single malt from Whisky Sponge was matured for 17 years in second-fill sherry butts before bottling at cask strength (62.1%), resulting in a concentrated and complex spirit. Rich peat smoke intertwines with dried plums, sea salt, hazelnuts and dried fruit, while the sherry casks add depth without overwhelming the distillery's coastal character. The texture is bold and warming, with a persistent finish of smoke and oak. A serious expression suited to those who appreciate Islay whisky with genuine weight and structure.
