Ledaig Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with a warm, honeyed glow and a subtle coppery shimmer.

Nose

Peat smoke and maritime brine rise first, mingling with earthy depth. A ribbon of sweetness follows—figs, raisins, orange zest, and a touch of toffee—courtesy of the refill sherry. Dried spice, vanilla, and a whisper of almond weave through the aroma, yielding a fruit-forward, smoky-peaty profile.

Palate

On the palate, a chewy, oily mouthfeel coats the tongue with sweet, dried fruit—raisins, fig, a touch of red apple—woven through bold peat and earthy undertones. Sherry influence adds toffee, dried spice and cocoa, enriching the smoke rather than overpowering it. The sweetness balances the peat, delivering a long, smoky finish with a cocoa-tinged warmth.

Finish

Chewy, smoky finish that lingers long, with soft sweetness and fruity sherry echoes weaving through the peat and earthy core for a warm, coastal fade.
