Ledaig Amontillado Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old
Out of stock
A limited edition heavily peated single malt from the Tobermory distillery under the Ledaig name (the original name of the distillery and what they now use for the more heavily peated style of releases)
Aged for 13 years and finished in Amontillado Sherry casks from the Montilla region of Spain.
Un-chill filtered and bottled at 59.2% ABV.
Another funky and highly enjoyable Ledaig offering, fast becoming a real contender to the likes of Ardbeg in terms of interesting and reliable releases that have loads of complexity and bold flavours.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with coppery mahogany depth, a rich sherry-warmed bronze.
Nose
Fruit and nut chocolate weave with earthy forest floor and fresh mushroom, rising into tarry, rich peat smoke. Caramelized nuts and mincemeat lend sweetness against a dark, savoury meatiness, with coastal varnish and maritime smokiness framing the aroma.
Palate
On the palate, a dense, velvety rush of maltloaf and toasted brown bread laying on a mulchy, leafy forest floor. Rustic and savoury, with meaty, peppery Ledaig character weaving through aromatic spices and honey-roasted nuts. Bold, cask-strength warmth coats the tongue, leaving a lingering peat-spiced finish.
Finish
Thick, peppery dark peat smoke lingers, giving way to honey-roasted ham, dark treacle and fruit-nut chocolate, with salted caramel and aromatic pulled-pork crackling. The finish stays savory and substantial, then, with a splash of water, earthy mushroom cream and a hint of twiglets by a bonfire emerge.
