Description
A Ledaig single malt, released by Murray McDavid matured to 17 year old from 2005, drawn from cask 1900200 and bottled at 54.8%. The outturn was 266 bottles. Ledaig is the smoky side of Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull, one of Scotland's oldest distilleries. The stills carry boil bulbs and an S shaped kink in the lyne arms, which raises reflux.
Run through the distillery's boil ball stills from peated barley, to build the medicinal, briny Ledaig character. A wine cask laid red fruit over the peat smoke. By this age the peat rounds into a sweeter, coastal smoke. Peat smoke and active oak settle together over the years, the smoke softening as the fruit deepens. The distillery was refurbished and its stills renewed between 2017 and 2019. Mull's maritime climate works into the maturing casks over the years. It is one of the oldest commercial distilleries in Scotland still working.
At 54.8%, undiluted, it is rich and deep. Soot, sea salt and a sweet fruit, and the Rum cask brings brown sugar and a tropical lift. Beneath the smoke run brine, tar and a sweet fruit. The close is long, smoke over a sweet fruit. This is the peated island malt of Mull.
