Single Malts of Scotland, Ledaig 2005 16YO Whisky 700ml

This single malt was distilled at the distillery in 2005 and aged for more than 16 years in a single barrel, yielding a total of 226 bottles.

Plenty of savoury character and delicious smoke are balanced by touches of fruit and florals.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Savoury-sweet aromas float in: chipotle-and-maple-syrup smoked bacon, followed by chocolate covered salted caramel sweets. Ripened persimmons and a vase of fresh lilacs follow on.

Taste: Some salinity, with notes of dry roasted peanuts and cornichons. This is balanced by some tart fruitiness – that of tangerines – which leads on to comforting baking spices.

Finish: A hint of charred pineapple remains, accented by some subtle mace.
