Description
Ledaig, Tobermory's peated alter ego, offers this rare 1999 vintage matured for 23 years in a refill American hogshead at natural cask strength (55.4% ABV). Expect the distillery's signature briny, smoky character tempered by decades in wood, revealing layers of sea spray, heather, and subtle oak influence beneath the peat. The palate is rich and slightly oily, with a persistent finish that balances maritime notes against warming oak spice. A testament to how Island peat evolves with age, suited to those seeking complexity over sheer smoke intensity.
