From the Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull comes Ledaig 18 Year Limited Release Batch #2, a peated island single malt Scotch that pairs coastal smoke with sherry-cask depth. Ledaig is the distillery’s heavily peated make, and eighteen years of aging mellows that smoke into something rounder sweet peat, brine, and sherried dark fruit on the nose, creamy toffee and raisin cut by black pepper on the palate, and a long, gently spiced finish. Batch releases vary slightly from bottling to bottling, which is part of the draw for the drinkers who chase them. A fireside whisky through and through: pour it neat and let ten minutes in the glass pull the fruit forward.
