Whisky Reviews for Ledaig 10-year-old

44 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 85.26 points

  1. Danlow scored this whisky 89 points Expert Senior

    With this delicious and inexpensive substance - taking into account the PLV - I actually get 89 points and thus an absolute buy recommendation. I'll buy this bottle again! It exactly matches my taste profile.
    Tasted at the same time with an Ardbeg 10.
    The Ledaig is fruity and fresh. The main notes for me are a lightly sugared grapefruit and a smoked and scorched lemon. Behind it are sweet green grapes. The earthy smoke is very reminiscent of a farm (cowshed). It is not as smoky and spicy as an Ardbeg 10, but it has a great fruit sweetness that our Ardbeg cannot deliver. In the finish, the Ledaig is not as persistent as the Ardbeg, but rather short. In the finish you get a very delicate wood impression over a slight bitterness.

  3. Kovalyoff scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    One of the best regulars in terms of price / quality ratio. At the same time, it is a rare case when a new release goes better than an old one. 21/22/22/21

  4. Ostap scored this whisky 87 points Connoisseur

    Unexpectedly soft, light in aroma. Very good base ten. 100% bar option.
    • Nose
      87 87
      Industrially fruit mix, soft (even tender) peat, rye bread, varnish, citrus, hint of fuel oil, apricot jam, chestnuts, shortbread cookies, raw vegetables (only from the cellar), a note of sauerkraut, sweet ash, vanilla and toffees, raisins, smoke.
    • Taste
      87 87
      Smoky, fruity, with meat, milk toffee.
    • Finish
      88 88
      Smoky, ashy, fruity, long, crunchy, citrus peel (orange and lemon), milk toffee.

  5. just 2thetop scored this whisky 86 points Expert Junior

    The colour of this 10 has changed from straw yellow colour in 2017 to sun-lounged orange in 2021.
    Similarly, the new Tobermory entry level 12 (changed from the old 10) is similarly afflicted.
    It is a shame that Tobermory management has seen this as a necessary move to get enough mainstream attention perhaps.
    Maybe they're using some sherry casks as well
    Still, a solid core entry level whisky

  7. fnk scored this whisky 85 points Expert Senior

    In general, it is tasty, I liked it, it has a slightly prickly taste, but this is not a problem, such a malt is masculine. The bottle played differently at different times, and this is the coolness of the whole bottle, not the casting. At first it was a typical chimney, then notes of moss, rotten wood appeared, now it is smoke heads. Very good malt, as for further development, aging/after aging/barrel strength, it is interesting to try its further development.

    C: Slightly dryer, less oily than the non-peated 12yo, Tobermory’s Ledaig 10yo proves utterly consistent & competent if somewhat unmoving/uneventful,…. Caol Ila 12yo-like in that respect [which isn’t what it used to be: WLP81, though that was in 2018. Whilst the 12yo Tobermory provides more of a colourful event, the Ledaig is more the polished article if slightly ‘technical’ [empty], for want of better words. The 18yo is, from memory, excellent [WLP88]. Overall, most agreeable.

  18. 11insomnium scored this whisky 85 points Expert Senior

    It doesn't reach the dirty notes of 18, but it still has a nice, aromatic smokiness. With more time in the glass, nice bourbon notes come through. More volume than Port Charlotte 10.
    • Nose
      Beautiful, aromatic candle smoke with fine sweetness and a little citrus and bourbon aromas
    • Taste
      Medicinally smoky, full and soft, slightly sweet, somewhat salty association
    • Finish
      Aromatic smoke, little sweetness

    "I just enjoy the honesty, transparency and simplicity of this profile. And I'm giving a high mark because it's just a little gem of a single malt."

    A little monotonous nose with typical smoke and maritime influences. Similar on the palate, the pleasant softness is particularly noticeable despite 46%.

      Smoke, burning wood, a little salt, honey, very well integrated alcohol,

  35. Casketje scored this whisky 87 points Expert Senior

    This is beautiful and incredible quality for a 10 year old OB - I would place it on the same pedestal as the Springbank 10 and the Clynelish 14 as leading examples of readily available, affordable yet complex "standard" whiskies. The 46.3% definitely helps here.

    I am generally not a peat head (I don't like the medicinal ones) but I really love the sweet, farmy, barbeque-y style of smoke that Ledaig offers. It's absolutely to die for in combination with an active sherry cask, but even the bourbon casks here make it very "quaffable" as the snobs say.

    • Nose
      Nice Laphroaig style smoke (but much lighter) and mineral peat, sugary sweetness, fruit (pear), light licorice, a hint of herbs and a touch of lemon, a pleasant creamy note also comes out at the end. With water the peat goes away and increases the cereal and balsamic component
