Ledaig Present Future TWE
Single Malt — Islands , Scotland

Every year, TWE has a whisky show where in essence they open their doors and you can try millions of pours from mundane to ultra-exotic. Unfortunately, I never made it out to London during that time. But, for this occasion, every year, they choose a few bottles of their own selection for the show. These are always really good, since it’s their representative. Last year, their theme for the representatives was “past”, “ future”, “present”. A bottle was chosen to represent each of those phases. For the “past”, a 11 yr fully Oloroso matured Glenlivet. The “future”, a 43 yr Inverogrodon. And “present”, this sherry matured Ledaig. It also comes in really cool bottles—-last year’s was a hologram label. (This year was a label visible in black light only, I think).
So—-marketing aside—-lets get to brass tax...how this all stack up?
Salty nose...but you can smell the sherry influence as well. Taste is like salt water toffee. Thick and oily, sweet and salty. Really well made, especially considering the price ($70, I think). If you like Talisker Distiller edition, you’ll love this.

@Soba45 I ordered it last year when it came out. The price was great, had good reviews, and you can’t generally go wrong with a TWE WhiskyShow release
Nice review, sounds interesting! How u get a bottle?
@Scott_E I’ve come to really appreciate Ledaig, and this was exceptional. I’ll save you a pour—no worries. After the holidays, I can combine with other stuff—just send over a few vials
@PBMichiganWolverine Sounds like another Ledaig winner. If you could throw two ounces aside for me. Would love to sample. I’ll figure something out to reciprocate. Have a Happy Holiday.
@Richard-ModernDrinking no worries—I’ll be opening up some new stuff this week with family over, so will send those as well the week of jan 1
It’s a Christmas miracle! Yes please.
@Richard-ModernDrinking i have plenty in the bottle—-happy to send some up i287
Wish I’d been paying more attention when I tasted this at the show.
