Ledaig 10 Year Old Review
Tobermory is the Hebridean Isle of Mull’s only whisky distillery. Along with an eponymous unpeated line, it produces the smoky and salty Ledaig single malts. If you enjoy peated whisky, and have sampled your fair share from larger, more well-known producers, take a punt on this plucky, peppery, 10-year release. At 46.3 percent ABV, there’s notable proof at play, with a nice balance of heat and spice that unfolds on the palate. There’s no avoiding the smoke — but again, if you like this style, Ledaig might just be a new favorite producer. (Though Tobermory itself is no spring chicken, having been established some 227 years ago!)
