Description
Ledaig 18 (Old Ver)
A utopian whisky haven away from the hustle and bustle, Tobermory Distillery was founded in 1798. It is located in a picturesque area called Ledaig on the Isle of Mull. It adheres to a people-oriented winemaking philosophy and uses pure water from about two miles southwest of the distillery. In the deep mountains, the brewed whisky combines softness and natural peat flavor. The wonderful taste is just like the scenery over there is overwhelming!
The Ledaig brand comprises one half of Tobermory’s output, a heavily peated malt in the 30-40ppm range. The Tobermory distillery, in fact, was originally founded as the Ledaig distillery in 1798. The distillery has four wash stills and four spirit stills, with production capable of a million liters of spirit a year after an upgrade in 1990. The water for the whisky is taken from a small, private loch close to the Mishnish lochs. While the number of offerings in the brand is limited, they occasionally include limited options often featuring special cask finishes or unusual age statements. The Ledaig 18 is finished in ex-Sherry wood, though the official details don’t seem to note specifically what kind of sherry. Others seem to think well of this scotch, as it has won several awards at recent spirits
