Tasting Notes
This captivating 15-year-old Ledaig single malt whisky is a true embodiment of harmony between the rugged and the refined. Distilled in 2009, it underwent a remarkable two-year finish in tawny Port casks, imparting a rich tapestry of flavors. The nose greets you with a delightful interplay of floral smoke, ripe mixed berries, and a hint of coastal brine. As you savor the first sip, the palate is enveloped in a delicate balance of saline peat, flint-like minerality, and luscious notes of plum and berry jam. The finish lingers with an oily texture, fruity barley nuances, and a smoky farewell that beckons you back for another indulgent sip. This remarkable single malt, independently bottled by Murray McDavid in 2024 as part of the Benchmark collection, is a true testament to the art of cask maturation and the magic that unfolds when peated whisky meets the opulence of Port.
