Batch 1 of Ledaig single malt Scotch whisky from That Boutique-y Whisky Company has been let loose! Now then, why is the chap on the label so angry? Where did he get a sledgehammer at this hour? Wait a minute... By the Hammer of Thor, he's heading to Islay! The spirit of Ledaig has become a sentient planet smasher and is off to eviscerate his rather more well-known peaty competition!
We're expecting a Dragonball Z style battle between Captain Hammer here and Islay's noble protector (Big Peat, perhaps?), with the fate of the island on the line. This sounds pretty awesome. Get my scriptwriter on the line! Michael Bay can do the special effects.
217 bottles of Batch 1 were produced.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains, bourbons, blended malts, and blends from a variety of renowned distilleries. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic-novel-style labels.
Aye, there be peat in here! Delicious, slightly vegetal, seaweedy peat as well as oatcakes. There's sweetness too with a just a hint of gummy bear and some golden syrup.
Rich porridge oats and demerara sugar, gone are the dry oatcakes. Glorious (and definitely seaweedy rather than vegetal now) peat is ever present.
Long lasting and mouth filling, changing now to golden barley and hobnobs as well as... well I'll let you guess (it starts with 'P').
It does exactly what it says on the tin, or the label rather - top notch, rich peaty whisky that's from the Isle of Mull, not Islay!
amazing!
Poppadom?
