This 12 year old Ledaig release was finished in amarone casks - a rich bittersweet Italian wine - for one year, creating a smoky single malt which mixes sweet honey and vanilla custard notes with a saline freshness.
Nose: Winter fire smoke, roasted nuts, creamy crme brulee, and a subtle hint of cinnamon.
Palate: Vanilla custard and honey balanced with subtle tannins, a distinct saline note and spicy smoke.
Finish: Light smoky finish with a hint of clove.
At the start of the 19th century Ledaig had a good run, but by 1837 fell on hard times and was subsequently mothballed for 41 years. It reopened in 1878 and operated under a succession of owners until it was purchased in 1916 by Distillers Company Limited. Just 14 years later it was closed again.
