Chorlton Whisky Ledaig 18 Years Old Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl / 56.3%)
Ledaig is one of my all-time favourites, and I’m delighted to have another one to offer!
The nose has tarry peat smoke, vats of sea water, black treacle, barbecued lemons, BBQ sauce, waxed jackets and smoked almonds. The palate feels weighty and lively at the same time – salty and peaty, with lemon and lime syrup, shellfish stock, miso caramel, Fisherman’s Friends and langoustines on the barby. The finish is long, clean and very coastal.
These noughties Ledaig batches are just impeccable spirit, and here it’s been matured for a decent time in a cask that’s done nothing more than add a thread of sweetness and allow some complexity to develop.
This bourbon hogshead produced only 239 bottles at a cask strength of 56.3%.
