Ledaig 10 Year Old Whisky 70cl

Very nice peated scotch. Ardberg is my usual go-to but Ledaig is a reminder you can get some truly excellent peated whiskies outside of Islay. The only problem is every time I open the bottle I have a hard time putting it away again

The previous reviewer should stick to the seriously coloured Lagavulin and leave this non coloured and non chill filtered superbly made whisky to us unserious folk.

Every time I have a dram of this whisky I am shocked by its quality…
If you like complex peated whisky, Ledaig 10 is very hard to beat

As it says in the heading, this is a very kind and nice whisky which won't remain in your memory for very long. Reasonable VFM, but you could do a little better for the money.

Ledaig 10 is now by far my favourite 10 year old peat whisky. The depth of character and complexity is testament to a well crafted whisky, evident of only the finest ingredients and barrels and also no added colouring and non chilled filtered. I appreciate peat whisky isn’t for everyone but peat whisky lovers who haven’t tried Ledaig 10 don’t know what delight they’re missing out on.

A lighter colour which I always find a little disappointing for a serious spirit, but in no way affected flavour!

On the nose; cherry and peat

Initial tasting; simple sugary sweetness with no "sweetness of..." nuances, which I found disappointing.
Sourness, or sharpness of sherbet; more sharp than lemon, but not overpowering to cause a face spasm.

Sea salt came through, followed by smoke and a savoury finish.

With water, a floral aroma with a real presence of pear in the tasting, followed by the same smokey savoury finish.

8/10; it is a serious sipper that doesn't bring an ounce of sweetness, meaning it might possibly be good for use as a serious old fashioned cocktail dare I say?

My 2nd favourite; Lagavulin 16 brought more nostalgia and sweetness to the table, but less initial crispness.

A superb and well peated Whisky competing with some of the best from Islay, it definately tasted at it’s best when 50% of the bottle was completed.

Firstly I need to say I am not a fan of peated whisky, I was given this as a gift.

Total peat on the nose, and therefore (me not a big pest fan) I was worried.

A few drops of water and the taste is totally different. Absolutely amazing and I think it has to be in my top 5 whisky’s. Great value for money too.

Beautiful, just beautiful .

A great whiskey from Islay! Who doesn't like peaty whiskeys, shouldn't even comment! It adds nothing of value!
