Evan's Tasting Note

Nose: Airy and floral notes rise above the oily and coastal notes lurking below. Lavender sprigs, strawberries, salt and vinegar potato chips, ginger, lemongrass, olive oil, lemon tarts, and Vicks Vaporub.

Palate: Creamy and ashy, fruity and floral with plenty of oiliness and buckets of salt. Miso broth, seaweed, sushi rolls, salt and pepper squid, sweet black currants, blackberries and apple skins.

Finish: Sweet and floral with ashy smoke and ozone-y coastal notes.

Comment: While this does have a bit of dank, dark and sooty Ledaig in there, it has no problem showing it's floral side too. It is a multifaceted whisky in a delightful way - and I swear I am not just saying that because it is Ledaig!

Whisky Exchange Tasting Note

“Aromas of rich bonfire smoke, pinecones, nutmeg, cinnamon and loose-leaf tea fill the nose. The palate offers notes of earthy peat, sweet tobacco, vanilla pods and cherry cough drops.
