The Ledaig 10 was pretty high on my whishlist. My wife brought it with her after Christmas shopping. That still leaves a bit of room for an educated guess what the actually holiday gifts will be, but she declines to comment on my guesses though. Haha. She won’t ruin the fun :).
While distilled at the Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull, the Ledaig 10 shows in every other aspect an Islay wisky, and proves that a full, rich, smokey whisky doesn’t necessarily has to originate from Islay. While a Laphroaig does remind of a nightly campfire at a windy beach however, this one more reminds me of Grandmothers’ coil stove while baking crispy sweet bacon. If she had had a coil stove that is. (She could cook a great bacon with eggs though!).
Damn, this is just a great dram. I really find it hard to rate. I’m inclined to rate it 5 stars, but I’ve already gave Lagavulin 16, Bruichladdich Black Art 4 and the Octomore 10 5 stars. For the moment I’m sticking with 4, but read 4 and a half stars, please.
