Interesting fact… Ledaig Single Malt whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Ledaig Single Malt whiskey, instead of whisky.
The nose is quite light and well-balanced. There is a certain freshness, pertained from notes of cut hay and straw, barley sugars and herbs, notes of cereals and melted salty butter on granary toast. The palate is medium-bodied with a richness. There are notes of gentle wood smoke and barley sugars, a farmy note with hints of hay and a roots with a touch of cereal sweetness and caramel. The finish is long and slightly herbal. ...more

A lighter "Laphroaig"?
Not as heavy as Laphroaig but very nice and is one to be savoured. I will certainly buy this again.
a pleasant surprise
Bought this in the local supermarket. Thought I would give it a go as i was tempted by the peat notes on the box somewhat looking like a cheap copy of Talisker packaging. In a nutshell ~ I've drunk whisky costing more but not as nice. Still has the character of a young whisky but very drinkable. I tried black bottle as a budget peat tipple but the grain in the blend just puts me off. This whisky is for someone like me who likes to buy a single malt and drink it in about 4 weeks and not feel too worried about cost. Id love a bottle of lagavulin but i know once it was gone i would feel guilty ~ after all it spent 16 yrs in cask and i drank it in about 16 pours.... Very pleasant whisky for the price and will definitely buy again.
