Get to know: Ledaig 10 Year Old Single Malt
A bold and characterful Scottish single malt whisky from the Isle of Mull, packed with smoky coastal intensity.
Tasting Note
Ledaig 10 Year Old is a robust, peated single malt that delivers big flavour with a maritime edge. Pale gold in colour, it bursts from the glass with aromas of bonfire smoke, sea spray, citrus peel, and cracked black pepper. On the palate, it’s full-flavoured and mouth-coating, with waves of earthy peat smoke, lemon zest, green apple, and a savoury, briny note that nods to its island home. The finish is long, smoky, and warming, with lingering spice, salt, and a gentle sweetness. This is a confident, no-nonsense Island peated whisky that fans of smoky styles will love.
Top food pairings:
- Smoked meats or chargrilled steak
- Strong, mature cheddar or blue cheese
- Dark chocolate with a high cocoa content
Kate Says
"If you like your whisky smoky and coastal rather than sweet and soft, this is spot on. It’s like a beach bonfire in a glass – bold, warming, and deeply satisfying."
Producer Info
Tobermory Distillery, founded in 1798 on the Isle of Mull, produces two distinct styles: the unpeated Tobermory and the peated Ledaig. Ledaig showcases the darker, smokier side of the distillery, shaped by traditional methods, long maturation, and the island’s salty sea air, resulting in whiskies of depth, power, and unmistakable character.
How it’s made:
- Variety: 100% malted barley, heavily peated
- Traditional slow distillation for depth and texture
- Matured for 10 years in American oak ex-bourbon casks
- Island climate adds a distinctive maritime character
- Non-chill filtered to preserve flavour and mouthfeel
