Ledaig Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 11 Year Old · 2005 Vintage
Out of stock
A Ledaig single malt bottled by Cadenhead’s for the Authentic Collection, this 11 year old was distilled in 2005 and bottled in 2017 after maturation in oak. Bottled at cask strength of 61.8% ABV, the release was limited to 450 bottles.
Oak maturation supports Ledaig’s robust island character, where earthy peat smoke, maritime notes and subtle spice are balanced by the distillery’s underlying malty sweetness, creating a bold and concentrated peated expression.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper edges and a sunlit malty gold core.
Nose
Earthy peat smoke rises with maritime brine and sea-salt whispers, carried on a brisk coastal breeze. Beneath, malty sweetness glows softly as subtle spice threads through the profile, adding warmth and depth. The overall impression is bold, concentrated, and unmistakably island.
Palate
Powerful, coastal and smoky, the palate opens with dense, earthy peat and briny sea notes. A substantial malty sweetness provides ballast, while subtle spice—pepper and clove—lifts the profile. Rich oak adds depth, and the long, warm finish carries more smoke with a marine echo.
Finish
Long, peaty finish with maritime brine and subtle spice, balanced by malty sweetness as oak gently asserts itself, leaving a warm, resinous coastal fade.
