Single Malt
Scotland
Peated single malt from the isle of Mull's Tobermory distillery, released under the Ledaig name and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail. This 12 year old whisky was bottled for the Discovery range (which categorises whisky into three flavour profiles - 'Sherried' 'Smoky' and 'Bourbon') at 43% ABV.
Grassy peat and seaweed, with green apple sweeties in the background.
Peppery smoke mixed with burnt sugar and cloudy lemonade.
Hints of cedar emerge from the smoke.

Ok, but that's about it. No where near as good as ledaig 10. Definitely not worth the money.
Pepper and peat and apples
A nice enough whisky, but not mind-blowing.
As a smokey peat lover I like it. Smoke, pepper and peat is very noticeable through the sweetness. Because it is so sweet I think this is a very nice introduction for starters getting into peated Islay Scotch. 4 stars because I paid less than €35 for a bottle.
This 1's smoky, peaty, chocolate & peppery as you'd expect but underneath its quite light with alot of sweetnes. It feels thin which gives me the impression the spirit is younger than the Ledaig 10, meh maybe it's just me bn more used to the 46%. Leaving it in the glass for an hr to breath doesn't seem to be as worth it as it is for the Lediag 10. It's not bad just different, I prefer the Ledaig 10. It's slightly peatier & smokier & overall has a more balanced finish imo. Just goes to show me that price should never be ahead of taste wen choosing my next Scotch.
