Ledaig 10 Year Old

70cl

This has to be one of the best value peated whiskies around. We were surprised how much this reminded us of Bowmore's Tempest when we tried it. There's obvious bourbon cask maturation here and of course plenty of peat smoke. This does taste quite youthful, and at full strength (46.3%) the alcohol adds to the power of the smoke. A little water brings out some nice lemony, honeyed notes and some creamy texture. We recommend trying it both ways. Either way we are sure you love it, providing you like smoky whiskies!

Tasting Notes from the Producer
Aromas (without water) Sweet briny smokiness with distinct island character and playful notes that hint at mild antiseptic, creosote, wax polish, mint chocolate and floral seaside aromas. Soft peat, gentle smoke.
Flavour Tantalisingly sweet, medicinal flavours infused with enticing sparks of spicy pepper and dried fruit with rich peaty smoke and a velvety vanilla and malty creaminess.
