Ledaig 10 Years
This Ledaig from the Tobermory distillery is a very smoky and complex Malt that could be from the Island of Islay. Ledaig translated means safe haven. This Ledaig bottling was bottled by Burn Stewart with a higher alcohol strength. The 12 year old Bunnahabhain as well as the 10 year old Tobermory also got this upgrade. New design!

Rating of article "Ledaig 10Y - 46.3% - 0.7l"
There's an initial hit of peat smoke (not overly antiseptic) with lemon juice, vanilla and black pepper developing after you let it sit for a few minutes. There's a seaweed/maritime savoury note also.
Taste:
Sweet, peaty arrival with vanilla sweetness and black pepper. The peat is medium strength and not as overpowering as a lot of the more popular Islay offerings.
Finish:
Medium/long with lingering smoke and black pepper/spice.
Comment:
Worth adding a few drops of water, but won't take too much.
Compared to a lot of peated Islay malts this is much more up my street. The peat is restrained but still very much at the forefront and doesn't overpower the other aspects of the flavour. It might be a little sweet for my tastes, but well worth trying at the asking price.
