Pushing its olfactory and gustatory boundaries as far as possible, this sherry-aged Ledaig is impressive in every way. As powerful as it is delicate, it is with rare generosity that it invites us to enjoy a peat of many faces, breathe in an intense smoke, take a wild pleasure in discovering its profoundly animal and medicinal character, burn our tongues on its spices and chillies and enjoy its truly sublime fruity and floral notes. And to top it all, as a grand finale, the empty glass invites us to bite into freshly malted, peated barley.

Slightly Peated

Nose : generous, rich. With impressive fullness, the initial nose boasts sublime complexity. A chocolate, earthy, floral (freesia) and fruity (orange) peat occupies the heart of the aromatic palette with lots of presence. Allowed to breathe, with incredible finesse it becomes mineral (slate), smoky (Havana cigar), roasted (coffee, mocha), herbaceous (straw, lucerne) and increasingly animal (bacon, bresaola)._x000D_<br>_x000D_

Palate : creamy, luscious. The very complex attack reveals a peat that is at once chocolate, liquorice, very smoky, bacon, slightly salty, exotic (passion fruit, mango), lemony and luscious (lemon balm, sorrel). The mid-palate is spicy (clove), hot (Cayenne) and also very chocolatey. With huge freshness, the end of the palate reveals notes of liquorice stick, redcurrant coulis and wild strawberry.

Overall : long, delicious. An intense smoke pervades the entire palate. Behind the smoke rings, we can make out blue agave, slate and wildflower (daisy, daffodil). Hyacinth aromas intensify its floral character. The medicinal (iodine tincture, camphor, mustard poultice) retro-nasal olfaction highlights a new facet of the gustatory palette of this magnificent Ledaig._x000D_
