Ledaig Isle of Mull Single Malt Whisky 1979 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with a rich caramel glow and mahogany-tinted rim.

Nose

Rugged peat smoke floods the nose, with salty sea air and iodine, a touch of ash. A refined sherry warmth unfurls—prune, raisin and dark chocolate—woven with leather, old oak and a maritime, lingering depth.

Palate

Coastal peat rides sea-salt and a warm sherry sweetness across the palate. Dried fig, raisin and prune mingle with leather, cocoa and toasted spice, while subtle oak lends structure. The 43% ABV carries a balanced, chewy body, finishing with lingering smoke, mineral notes and a bright whisper of orange zest.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with coastal brine and embered peat. Subtle sherry sweetness threads through dark fruit, cocoa and leather, while cracked pepper and oak leave a warming, mineral kiss that lingers on the tongue like sea air at dusk.
