    A good dram, typical islay with a combination of lemon peat well convoluted.
    • Nose
      Vanilla, intense lemon, fresh peat, uncompromising and a sweet pastry back!
    • Taste
      Simple, linear, on peat and lemon!
      Then a return of maderized oranges appears, as well as the woody aspect.
      A little toasted almonds.
    • Finish
      On the same aromas, but with a length that lasts, the peat dries to give way to smoke!

    Wow, that's a blockbuster. Full of dirty elements, and with a high intensity of the peat smoke. There is a nice fruitiness in the nose as well, but overall the heavy side clearly dominates. Balanced is not the right word here, but it's very a very strong style and I like that.
    • Nose
      Big time funky barnyard style as is so typical from Ledaig, but then with old rusty, oil leaking engines. The peat smoke comes across as salty and dirty as can be. There is a bit of rubber in it too. I read another note describing it as pencil eraser, I think that's spot on! Then there is also toast, smoked wood chips and lapsang tea. At the end, a grassy note pops up.
    • Taste
      Nicely sour, not too hot, with some room for pineapple, cherry, but certainly the bold peat smoke. It's less oily than on the nose. Apart from that, it's more on coal, and there is a nice note of licorice attached to it. Then, burnt twigs and grass.
    • Finish
      The finish doesn't end, it goes on! There is plenty of licorice root, a dash of black pepper, the dirty, farmy and oily peat smoke, and ash.

    This is really a top quality cask. Ledaig is very good at most stages of maturation but the combination of young, peaty character of the still very active spirit and full, thick sherry is really quite stellar here in particular.Reviewed in my blog:http://iwriteaboutstuffilike.com/2017/09/19/ledaig-2005-signatory-vintage/
