WhiskyNotes gave this whisky 90 points

Color

Deep copper

Nose

Very complex. It shows jammy fruit notes (yellow plums, apricot, tangerine), some mint, subtle peat and a slightly tangy hint of acrylic paint and mustard. Then an enjoyable bubblegum note as well as farmy notes (especially wet dogs) and wet limestone. Hints of ashes in the background. Not unlike some Brora, but fruitier. Something of lemon scented soap as well, but not as bad as it sounds. Lovely style.

Taste

Very chiselled and slightly austere. A curious mix of honey and mustard. Some sweet citrus and apple in the background. Medium peat. Pepper, liquorice, cold smoke. Some coastal notes as well. Again a certain soapy edge and slightly bitter oak.

Finish

Medium length, on pepper and bitter oranges.

Comments

Nice how this Ledaig goes constantly switches between fruity and austere aromas. Overall a bit too sharp for me to get a higher score, but very complex and quite unique.
