- Description
- Ledaig from Tobermory is Islay's quieter cousin—a peated malt with uncompromising smoke and maritime punch delivered with island intensity. This 10-year-old single refill hogshead release strikes a balance between peat-driven smoke and developing complexity, with brine, tar, and hints of dark fruit emerging beneath. The finish is long and smoky, with peppery warmth lingering on the palate. Essential for peat enthusiasts seeking flavour from an island distillery less famous than its southern neighbours.
