Ledaig 18 Year

Ledaig 18 Year

The Ledaig brand comprises one half of Tobermory’s output, a heavily peated malt in the 30-40ppm range. The Tobermory distillery, in fact, was originally founded as the Ledaig distillery in 1798. The distillery has four wash stills and four spirit stills, with production capable of a million liters of spirit a year after an upgrade in 1990. The water for the whisky is taken from a small, private loch close to the Mishnish lochs. While the number of offerings in the brand is limited, they occasionally include limited options often featuring special cask finishes or unusual age statements. The Ledaig 18 is finished in ex-Sherry wood, though the official details don’t seem to note specifically what kind of sherry. Others seem to think well of this scotch, as it has won several awards at recent spirits competitions.

Ledaig 10 Year

The only peated whisky on the Isle of Mull, the Ledaig 10 was a Gold Medal winner at the 2008 International Wine and Spirits Competition. Does it have what it takes to compete with it’s island brethren like the Tobermory 10 Year?
