The 2nd sample vial I bought with me to Hawaii…this one a 13 yr sherry matured Ledaig, sent courtesy from @Richard-ModernDrinking.
In 75 degree weather, sitting by the Westin Princeville pool, not sure if a Peat/ sherry combo is ideal in this setting….more meant for lighter drinks, but is there ever a wrong place for a really good Ledaig?
This is how I like my whiskey. Rich, thick mouthfeel. It’s briny, salty, and sweet. Carmelized fruit. Rich meat and nuts ( the recent macadamia crusted ahi I just had comes to mind). Sea salt chocolate.
It’s a decadent whiskey that acts older than its young teen years. Great cask choice by the folks over at TWE. Thanks Richard for the pour!

@Richard-ModernDrinking I’ve sadly struggled here in KY as well. Even a cold beer isn’t cold enough. @PBMichiganWolverine is a trooper!
@Jose-Massu-Espinel @Ctrexman I’m finding ledaigs are really underrated…especially considering their other brethren Islanders ( highland park and talisker )
@Richard-ModernDrinking it was actually colder in Hawaii than here in NJ! There were even three times I had to put on a sweatshirt : Volcano national park, Waimea canyon, and Moana Kea. Granted…all three were 4000 feet up…
Everything about your post sounds just wonderful.....the scotch too
ledaig is becoming one of my favorites
I admire your dedication in drinking whisky in that weather, though it’s positively chilly compared to the 100 degree heat we’ve been suffering for the past week. I’ve pretty much avoided the brown spirits.
