Well well what do we have here? An unpeated island whisky you say? Tell me more?
If you’re a fan of the Bunna 12 or The Classic Laddie, you’ll like this one. Creamy malt with a hint of sour citrus zest and a little bit of salt. I’m almost tempted to make a margarita with this dram.
Where this one really shines is the finish. The proof helps the finish linger for so long; long enough that you never want it to end. You know. The way you used to wish Game of Thrones wouldn’t end. But I digress...
Bit hard to find this pour. I can find it’s peated brother, Ledaig, easily enough, but folks must not be lining up for an unpeated islander as much. Shame. This is a quality drop. Keep an eye out for it. I got this one in a 50 ml sample bottle. Trying to work through my samples by years end so I can focus on my open bottles. Stay tuned for my 20 for 20 year of reviews. Cheers!

@cascode you may be right. This sells for $10-$15 less than The Laddie or Bunna 12 in my market, but it’s every bit as good imo.
@WhiskeyLonghorn I'm not so sure that the lack of availability is disinterest. Ledaig gets all the publicity but whenever an allocation of this has appeared here it has been snapped up very quickly. Sadly, I missed out last time (darn).
