Another in a series of excellent young Ledaig’s from Dutch bottlers The Ultimate Whisky Company.
Peated spirit often benefits from two things: youthful fire, and high proof. This whisky has both in spades, with it forming a part of The Ultimate Whisky Company’s esteemed Cask Strength range.
This is a 2010 vintage Ledaig, produced in the Isle of Mull at the Tobermory distillery. A single cask bottling, the spirit was distilled on the 21st of June 2010 and bottled on the 26th of July 2017, having matured for 7 years in a former Bourbon barrel (cask number 700390).
Bottled at a formidable cask strength of 61.8% ABV, really allowing the oily mouthfeel, and powerful vanilla, maritime peat and tropical fruit flavours of this whisky to assert themselves. It is also bottled without either chill filtration or artificial colouration.
Just 216 bottles of this whisky are available, and we do not expect this one to stick around.
