Ledaig 19 Year Marsala Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ledaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a heavily peated single malt crafted at the Tobermory Distillery, and reflects the distillery's location in the Inner Hebrides archipelago. The whisky is made exclusively from Scottish barley that is dried directly over a peat flame. Once the grains have been dried, they are milled and mashed with water drawn from Mary's Well before being fermented for nearly four days in washbacks made of Oregon Pine. Following fermentation, the wash is distilled twice, first through one of Tobermory's copper-pot wash stills, and again through one of Tobermory's copper-pot spirit stills.

The unique Ledaig spirit is matured in premium oak wood casks for 19 years before being finished in distinctive Marsala wine casks. The end result is a deep, rich, decadent, smoky single malt.

Tasting Notes

The nose strikes a balance between cracked black pepper peat along with decadent wine, dried fruit, toffee, citrus and subtle ginger and baking spice. The palate is sweet with, citrus, berries grapes, toffee, and subtle dark chocolate, followed by peat smoke. The finish is long with smoke and fruit.
