First the sherry influence on the nose, but very interesting in combination with the Ledaig distillate. Fruity, it is almost fermented fruit. Smoke and fruit dominate This year’s shortlist included a mix of whiskies from the Highlands to the island, showcasing some bold flavours including Jura 18 Year Old, which won the runner up prize, Old Pulteney 15 Year Old and Oban 14 Year old. After an expert panel carried out a blind tasting, Ledaig 18 Year Old was the winner.

A very one-faced whisky. It’s surprising that a peated whisky this old still has a fiery peat and smoke flavor. The peat of other 18-year-old peated whiskeys I’ve had have mellowed down to nuttier notes.

Hi Bifter, I totally agree with you on Ledaig being able to match Campbeltown. The almost non-existent sulfur notes was a delight! Tobermory Bottler Distillery Bottling Bottling serie Limited Release - Batch No. 02 Bottled 20.11.2015 Stated Age 18 years old Casktype Spanish Sherry Wood Finish Strength 46.3 % Vol. Size 700 ml 750 ml Bottle code P037166 L5 xx:xx 15324 Barcode 5029704218056 Added on 17 apr 2020 3:06 pm From the color of Ledaig 18 alone, it appears the finish is much deeper and longer than most sherry-finished Islay whiskies, as well, and here we really see the best of both worlds — smoky peat meeting sweet sherry.

Intense and robust, it’s a rich whisky with sweet smoke and earthy notes. Created with expertise and a great deal of care, to have won such a fantastic accolade is a true reflection of the hard work that goes into producing each expression in the Tobermory portfolio.

I really like the Tobermory 10 year old single malt so I was looking forward tasting their more mature version. Especially because peated sherry cask whiskies usually hit the spot for me.Norrie, our vaguely vigilant news desk fella, scans the horizon for whisky news.
