Pronounced "LEDGE-igg"? Pale yellow/gold color. Not leggy, per se, but with raindrops that stick to the inside of the glass. The nose is lovely, mild tin of vanilla tobacco peat, with just a touch of menthol at the tail end. Some iodine and car fumes; smoke but the kind you gladly close your eyes and inhale. A really nice barley sweetness that balances everything out. A little meaty, but just a little, though with some fennel folded in. The flavor is bonfire peat smoke at the very first sip: spent matches and lots of salt and black pepper spices. Cinnamon gum, like the bite of a Big Red. The peat permeates the whole thing. Barley and toffee to round out the swallow. The finish is prickly salt rock and white pepper. Lots of spice: cinnamon, star anise, fennel. Peat smoke and rich potting soil. The rock salt sticks until the very end. I am truly delighted by Ledaig: it's wonderfully balanced, with lots of peat but not fetishizing it. It's got salt, pepper, smoke and a sweet barley finish. Highly recommended.
