From one of the two labels of the Tobermory Distillery on the island of Mull. The brands being Tobermory which is ‘apparently’ totally un-peated and Ledaig being given a healthy dose of peat. Incidentally, the distillery was originally named Ledaig when peat was used exclusively to dry the malted barley. A distillery that should be in the same league as Islay distilleries as they produce exceptional whiskies.
 
A sensational single cask single malt from Ledaig.
 
Nose: Freshly started bonfire mixed in with smoked bacon lifted with the sweetness of caramelised raw sugar in butter.
 
Palate: Rock sugar sweetness quickly leading to gentle spices. Rich toffee, bacon fat and thick coffee.
 
Finish: Still rich. Buttery, mouth filling with hints of burnt toast and sweet caramel that lingers on and on.
 
Other comments: A rare treat! Thankfully NOT a sherry bomb. Obviously from a quality cask that delivered lots of flavour and balance for such a rich and full whisky.
