- Description
- Ledaig's peated character from Tobermory's Isle of Mull distillery shines through 14 years of sherry butt influence, creating a compelling tension between maritime smoke and rich, dried-fruit sweetness. The peat remains earthy and grounded rather than medicinal, complemented by the depth that sherry cask maturation provides—dark berries, leather, and spiced wood underlying the smoke. A balanced expression suited to those seeking peat softened by luxury cask influence.
