9 year old Ledaig single malt, drawn from a single cask that houses the whisky from May 2008 to August 2017. This peaty Tobermory malt was independently bottled by Douglas Laing for the Provenance range, with just 313 bottles produced.
Barrel char and smoked cheese, with hints of caramel-coated fruit underneath.
Pineapple, vanilla and BBQ meats. A whisper of cardamom spiciness.
Cumin, clove and brown sugar.
Utter disappointment. Too young, oily, with the raw alcohol hitting both nose and taste. Can't understand why it's popular and princely now. Worse than the standard distillery produced 10 year old one that anybody can buy for less than 40 pounds. Obviously, Douglas Laing's Provenance expressions are way under the quality of the Old Particular series.
