Distiller Notes
What gives Ledaig 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky its intensely complex character? First, peat-dried malted barley is married with aromatic water, drawn from Tobermory Distillery’s private water source on the rugged Isle of Mull. Matured in superior oak wood casks and finished in Spanish sherry wood casks the result is a wonderfully peated single malt, robust and vibrant with a spicy smokiness, floral seaside aromas and hints of licorice and cloves. It’s a taste you’ll forever treasure and one you’ll always return to.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
