Tasting Profile
Nose: A burst of campfire smoke, blackberry compote, and aged leather. Wine soaked oak, iodine, and a hint of crushed herbs layer in with every swirl.
Palate: Earthy peat and maritime salt crash into dark fruit sweetness, think blackcurrant, grilled plums, and tannic red wine. Notes of smoked bacon, red peppercorn, and cedar wood follow.
Finish: Long, drying, and complex. Wine tannins, peat embers, and dry spice echo into a smoky, fruity afterglow.

Production Details

It captures the raw, peated style of Tobermory’s Ledaig spirit and elevates it with layered red wine influence.

Interesting Fact
Ledaig, the peated spirit of Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull, is known for its rugged, almost feral character. Bordeaux casks are rarely used this long for finishing, making this one of the more unique Ledaig bottlings on the market.

Serving Suggestions
Neat or with a few drops of water to bring out the dark fruit and leather tones. Pairs exceptionally well with charcuterie or aged hard cheese.

Distillery Background
Ledaig is produced at Tobermory Distillery, one of the oldest in Scotland, located on the Isle of Mull. While Tobermory releases are typically unpeated, Ledaig brings the fire, distilled only during specific runs and aged in a range of casks to showcase Islay-level peat with a unique island character.
