Ledaig - 10 Year Old

Ledaig is the peated single malt produced at Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull, one of Scotland's most characterful island distilleries.

While Tobermory itself is known for unpeated whisky, Ledaig represents the distillery's smoky side, crafted from heavily peated barley that gives it a bold maritime character distinct from its Islay neighbors.

This 10 Year Old expression is matured primarily in ex-bourbon casks, allowing the spirit's natural peat and coastal influence to shine without excessive wood interference.

The distillery sits in the colorful harbor town of Tobermory and draws water from a private loch, contributing to the whisky's clean, mineral quality beneath the smoke. Ledaig 10 offers a compelling alternative for those who appreciate Islay-style peat but want something with its own island identity.

The profile balances medicinal smoke with unexpected sweetness, showing notes of smoked meat, sea salt, and dark fruit alongside the characteristic earthy peat. 3% ABV and non-chill filtered, it delivers substantial body and texture.

This is a whisky for those who want authentic island character without the premium price of older age statements. It works well neat or with a few drops of water to open the smoke and reveal underlying complexity.
