For me a great, also because unusual bottling.

Nose

full, sweet aromas, non-volatile and light, but heavy but not intrusive, toffee, warm smoke hovering over it, a hint of fruit, bright red berries, brown sugar

Taste

strong, spicy, full-bodied, smoke rather retronasal to feel, but then clearly, shortbread with butter, alcohol well integrated, warming, vanilla pudding, in the end becomes drier

Finish

Neck long and pleasantly warm, full sweetness prepares the way for the smoke

Ambivalent Malt, who definitely needs time and water to play his strengths

Nose

Full load of grain, hayloft, the slightly rancid Ledaig character is there but very mitigated, sourdough, eucalyptus, the malt takes time and some water, then comes with more and more fruitiness in driving, pears and kiwi. Later a sack of potatoes, horseradish

Taste

Slowly, smoke and a wine gum sweeten their way, pepper potato chips, mint leaves

Finish

fresh but by no means young, little oak but set, mild smoke and again this summery hay-notes, relatively long

Slightly grassy in the nose
Taste more citrus
Not really 'dirty' from Ledaig
Very mature little tingling on the tongue which makes the taste hang out.

Soft mature and fresh Ledaig
A few drops of water added, which opened slightly

Very good 20yo+ Ledaig

Nose

Light grassy/hay notes, light peat. Salt & wet stones - very maritime nose, very fresh. Alcohol is noticeable but not too offensive

Taste

Very salty, then sweet, nice Island taste, same level of peatness, strong alcohol, needs a reduction. Again some hay & farm notes, reminds on some bourbon cask matured Kilchomans but this one is more mature and mellowed.

Finish

Fades on sweetness and ashes, some medicinal notes emerge

I like it even better than the 10-year bottling of BiM.
Three of the current bottlings in direct comparison: https://fosm.de/tasting-3x-brothers-in-malt-mortlach-und-ledaig/

Nose

Wow, that's another interpretation. I would have typed a sherry keg as a finish, but that's a pure bourbon barrel maturation. Sweet and fruity, with brown sugar and a light smoke. Toffee and behind it flashes a bit of the menthol.

Taste

Smoky and strong. The alcohol is well integrated. Vanilla.

Finish

Nice spicy and a little smoke interspersed with nice sweetness.
