A second fabulous Ledaig, this time slightly leveled by sherry. The color is pale gold. Much more restrained and approachable than the 12 year. A pungent nose of amino acids, overripe tropical fruit, dark tarry smoke and pine sap. ON the palate the peat turns up, with a lovely meatiness and a big peppercorn finish. I think this will like water. Six drops in a .5 oz pour. Very much more open now. Bacon smoke, orange marmalade, pine again, leather, rust, hyssop, seagrass, barnacles, old wooden trawler, snuff box. This is clean for a sherried Ledaig, with no Sulphur at all just pure peat and wild ocean-y Ledaig character behind. The sherry is there but takes a serious back seat to the powerful spirit. Loves water!

Notes

Another wonderful cask of Ledaig, which we acquired at a seemingly outrageous value. The sherried expressions of Ledaig are highly sought-after although their profile range wildly from the extremely unusual to the only slightly strange. This falls toward the slightly less crazy flavor profile although still has plenty of dense umami, gorgeous peat and measured sherry character. The Tobermory distillery on the hard to get to Isle of Mull is one of the least explored. The lovely town of Tobermory is famous for its colorful houses, but the distillery has stayed of many drinkers radars for lack of availability. We've managed to score several casks of the limited production smokey variant like this one, pronounced "La-chick," and they've been among the most controversial bottlings in our history. One thing is for sure, you're in for a wild ride everytime you buy a Ledaig, but of the many we've bottled over the years, this maybe one of the most obviously delicious. Still don't expect complete smooth sailing. The route to Mull is always a bit unpredictable and this nicely aged peater in refill sherry is no exception.
