Ledaig 14 Year Old – Founder’s Collection (The Whisky Baron) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Dense notes of tarmac and smouldering rubber, supported by sweet liquorice and barley water.

Palate: Huge helpings of peat, vegetal and grassy to begin, before developing into sooty smoke. A touch of coastal salinity is backed up by crumbly vanilla fudge.

Finish: Charred embers, sweet peat, salted caramel, and soft oak.

Distillery Information

Tobermory was originally founded in 1798 by John Sinclair, under the name Ledaig (pronounced led-chigg), hence the recently released Ledaig range. Closing in 1837 and reopening in 1878, the distillery was acquired in 1890 by John Hopkins and Company. Today, Tobermory is the only distillery on the Isle of Mull. The distillery has quite a small annual capacity of just one million litres and runs at but three quarters of this. In 1930, the distillery closed and was used as a power plant. It was not the only time Tobermory had been used for purposes other than whisky distillation; in 1982 the buildings were leased to a dairy company who used them for storing cheese.
