Ledaig 16 Year Old 2005 (cask 1900201) - Benchmark (Murray McDavid)
Smoky single malt from the Isle of Mull – yes, it's another excellent Ledaig from the Tobermory Distillery! This expression was distilled in 2005 and initially aged in a bourbon hogshead before being moved over to a first-fill rum cask from the Diamond Distillery in Guyana for a finishing period. Eventually, the whisky was bottled up by Murray McDavid as part of the Benchmark series.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Smoked meats and baked earth, with a splash of citrus developing.
Palate
Rounded caramel and peach notes, with some tangy spices later on. A constant hum of toasty smoke.
Finish
Long and well-balanced between fruit-forward sweetness and coastal salinity.
