Tasting Notes:

Rich, powerful. Fig, orange, cocoa, soot.

Unbelievably complex, rich and fresh, this version unquestionably evokes the very great Ledaigs distilled in the early seventies. With absolute freedom of tone, its aromatic and gustatory palette reveals in particular a peat that displays a multitude of nuances, each one more beautiful than the other. To this must be added the minerality and medicinal character that suits this single malt from the Isle of Mull so well.
