About this deal

The 18-year-old expression is a deliciously fruity peated whisky, finished in sherry casks, balancing sweet, floral aromas with rich smoke and sea salt on the palate.

Vanilla custard. Parma violet sweets. Floral taste on initial sip. A much dryer peat smoke coats the tongue nicely. There’s some charred oak here. The finish and flavour last so much longer on this dram and comparing it to the 10yo. Velvety dark chocolate and a hint of cherry. Some delicious stroopwafel. Smoked ham and fried Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts. A wee hit of redcurrant bitterness develops after a while. This year’s shortlist included a mix of whiskies from across Scotland, with some unexpected bold flavours.Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us.

From the pour and letting it sit in the glass for a bit, the soft campfire smoke and briny element slowly fills the room. It has such a fresh nose. Bright lemon peel and a hint of peppermint. There’s baked puff pastry, flaked almonds, and a caramelised sugar paste. The brine from before is mixed in with a saltiness. Wood fire smoke, pine tree and tobacco. Maple cured bacon, sliced grapes and a heap of white chocolate fudge cubes.

Rich, bold and smoky, peat works its way into every nook and cranny it can find, making it hard to produce both peated and unpeated spirit at the distillery. Still, for six months each year Tobermory produces heavily-peated single malt, and they call it Ledaig. What does it taste like? Brendan McCarron, master distiller at Ledaig, said: "Ledaig 18 Year Old is truly a deliciously peated single malt Scotch that has rich and smoky sherry notes that are balanced with seaweed and light creosote in the mouth, before a long smoky finish with liquorice and sea spray notes. Mouth: charred hints and wood spice with a certain sharp edge. Grassy notes, salt and lemons, as well as herbs and a floral top note. I expected more dark chocolate from the sherry, but it stays in the higher pitched flavours. Later some smoked bacon, liquorice and vanilla come out, as well as some asphalt.

Whisky under the Ledaig brand is peated single malt by Tobermory distillery from the Isle of Mull in Scotland. The distillery founded in 1798, having undergone a number of periods of closure, was formerly known as Ledaig. Palate: Sweet and spicy, the palate initially brings notes of chilli flakes, ginger and honey, before chocolate-covered coffee beans join the fray. Soft tendrils of peat smoke appear, flanked by orange peel, walnuts and leafy, green herbs. Master blender for the distillery, Dr Rachel Barrie, said of this whisky: “The Twelve balances richly sherried malt with added layers of fruit complexity, reaching a pinnacle at twelve years old.”
