About

Ledaig, the peaty expression from Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull, merges smoke and maritime character in this 1998-vintage bottling. Matured in refill sherry butt for 18 years, this single malt strikes an intriguing balance between robust peat and warming sherry influence. The result is a complex, smoky whisky that will reward dedicated Ledaig enthusiasts. On the nose, layers of smoked meat, tobacco, and leather emerge alongside mineral peat and brown sugar sweetness. The palate delivers dry sherry notes intertwined with peaty character, while subtle fruitiness—peach and dried apricot—threads through. The finish is pleasingly malty and honeyed, with a satisfying length that supports the whisky's smoky backbone.
