Well-peated single malt from the Tobermory distillery, released under the Ledaig name and independently bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company. This was aged for 18 years before being bottled, and features the somewhat-miffed personification of Ledaig on its way to Islay - presumably to put that hammer to use...
Batch 3 is a release of 921 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Toasted rye bread, steak with peppercorn sauce, and touches of dried earth. A subtle floral hint of hibiscus petals and fruity notes of apple cores.
A well-balanced expression, with earthy smoky peat and Cherry Bakewell in equal measures. Dried oak and Maltesers develop later on.
More rye, well-aged brandy and crumbly Biscotti. After a few minutes, you'll find notes of black tea, too.

Was given a miniature by my young daughter for Xmas. Really enjoyed it. Then I saw the price of a bottle on line mmmm don't think Ill be buying one
Tried this at a whisky show and was blown away. This is a filthy, dirty, visceral whisky, nothing subtle here at all. Think farm yards, hay lofts, unlit gitanes cigaretes, the goat pen at a petting farm (yes, really), musky, truffled spirt. A thick unctuous mouthfeel and a smoke that's more bunt twigs and lapsing souchong than peat. A real outlier but worth investigating
The label art is about right. If you stuck 'Islay' on this, at this age statement, you'd be looking at another £100 on the price point and it'd still be worth every penny. Absolutely massive whisky, and so well integrated...
