Tasting Notes

Drawing inspiration from the coastal landscapes of Tobermory, this Ledaig 21-Year-Old Single Malt is a true embodiment of the rugged charm of the Isle of Mull. Distilled in 2001, the meticulously crafted spirit was aged for 21 years, culminating in a harmonious finish in a Margaux Wine cask. The result is a whisky that exudes a captivating balance of peat and elegance. On the nose, it unveils a symphony of smoky notes intertwined with hints of sea salt and a delicate fruitiness, hinting at its unique cask finishing. The palate is a delightful dance of flavors, with peaty undertones mingling seamlessly with sweet notes of ripe fruit and a subtle winey character. The finish lingers with a pleasant smokiness, inviting you to savor every sip. Bottled at a robust 57.4% ABV, without added color or chill filtration, this exceptional release of 186 bottles from Murray McDavid's Mission Gold collection is a true testament to the art of single malt craftsmanship.
