Ledaig Murray McDavid Benchmark Rum Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 2005 Vintage
In stock
Overlooking the sleepy fishing harbour on the Isle of Mull, Tobermory Distillery produces both an unpeated and a heavily peated spirit with the latter being bottled under the distillery’s original name, Ledaig (pronounced lay-chack). This rich, oily Single Malt spent its final years in a specially selected rum cask from Diamond Distillery, in Guyana.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with copper highlights and a tawny, mahogany-inflected depth.
Nose
Warm vanilla anchors the aroma, with sweet smoke and bright orchard fruit weaving through. A creamy, inviting bouquet that hints at depth beyond its smooth sweetness.
Palate
An oily, tropical palate unfolds with plush fruit, vanilla sweetness and a bold peat surge, lifted by rum-cask influence. Pineapple and mango glow beside smoky depth, while a waxy texture coats the mouth. The finish bears orange zest and brown sugar, with a lingering tobacco note.
Finish
Bright orange notes give way to brown sugar sweetness, ending in a long, lingering tobacco finish that leaves a warm, resinous glow.
