NOSE: Almonds, almond essence, moderate dry peat smoke. Takes water very well, becomes more fruity', on yellow and orchard fruits. (88-89p)
TASTE: The arrival is sweet, rich and intense on the mid palate, with wood. Takes water very well, opens up and improves, less woody, a bit more oily.
FINISH: Black pepper, wood, peat smoke. A (nice) bitter fruit bite as well. Suddenly a lot of peat smoke at the very end. (90-91p)
OVERALL: Total score 89 points.

Bottler: Cadenhead's
Expansion: Bourbon Hogshead
Region: Isle of Mull, Scotland

From the Tobermory distillery

Nose: Special. Slightly smoky and with a subtle herbal note. Very much forest honey and a little vanilla, then the single malt becomes much more fruity, juicy and ripe peaches are complemented by apricots and nectarines. Add a hint of mineral aromas, as if the cliffs were a mile away and the sea rages there.

Palate: Tropical fruits, again a strong peach note. A very slight hint of dry wood smoke mixes with it. Followed again creamy honey, some bitter caramel, walnuts and malt.

Finish: medium and dry, with oak, caramel and coconut. In addition a slightly mineral, almost saline impact.

Conclusion: Ledaig? The very light smoke is more likely to close to a tobermory. Either way, a really complex whisky. Really good!

86/100 points (tasted 2015)
