An 11 year old single Hogshead cask of Ledaig, distilled in 2008 and bottled at 52.7%.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: juicy malt, freshly tarred asphalt and old wet rubber hockey dressing room mats... a touch of blue cheese too?! soft vanilla, moist flowers in a botanical garden and chewy citrus candies... can't decide if they are Starbursts or Wine Gums.
Palate: soft, round and decadent with juicy citrus fruits and floral vanilla... right before you are steamrolled by the tarry peat and classic medicinal tones Ledaig is famous for; vanilla icing sugar and clean smoke; a touch of rubber mats... from a hockey dressing room floor.
Finish: big, bold and coating; tarry, ashy and medicinal with more floral, creamy vanilla and more juicy citrus.
Comment: I'm not a huge fan of Ledaig, but this one is lovely; youthful in that peaty-medicinal way that I know all those Ledaig-heads out there look for, but with an elegance and maturity well beyond its years; if you are a fan of Ledaig, don't worry, it is still more of an acquired taste than Laphroaig!
