Ledaig 17 Year Old 2001 Single Cask (Private Label) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet notes of mango, charred pineapple, and floral honey lead to tinned peaches and chantilly cream. A hint of smoked meat and oily oak join in time.

Palate: Gently coastal with salted fudge, apricot, and charcoal leading the way before cinnamon and ginger join. Resinous oak is backed up by tropical fruit and a touch of biltong.

Finish: Herbaceous peat brings a medicinal touch to the finish, balanced by salted papaya and stewed stone fruits.

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.
