Ledaig 11 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
Tobermory
Tasting Notes
Hailing from the windswept Isle of Mull, this Ledaig 11 Year Old whisky is a true embodiment of the island's rugged spirit. Bottled by the mavericks at That Boutique-y Whisky Company, it greets you with a bold burst of wood smoke, followed by a delightful dance of dried fruits, soda bread sweetness, and the refreshing aroma of damp grass. As you savor the initial sip, a harmonious blend of preserved lemon, dark fruits, and charred barley unfolds, complemented by the warmth of cinnamon and the peppery kick of freshly ground black pepper. Hints of smoked chestnut and a touch of peppermint add depth and intrigue to this peaty delight. The finish lingers with a meaty smokiness, intertwined with a hint of chocolate and the rich notes of blackcurrant compote, leaving a lasting impression on your palate. This fiery fellow on the label is a true reflection of the whisky's bold and unapologetic character, daring to challenge the peated whisky conventions of its neighboring islands.
