Cuvée presentation

A Ledaig single cask (#15211) distilled in 1998, aged in a sherry cask and bottled in 2021 for La Maison du Whisky. Unrivalled in its complexity, richness, and freshness, this expression strongly evokes the legendary Ledaig whiskies distilled in the early 1970s. Allowed to unfold with total freedom, its profile reveals a wonderfully layered peaty character where each note seems more beautiful than the last. Underpinning this is the distinctive mineral and medicinal signature that suits this single malt from the Isle of Mull so perfectly. A limited edition of 340 bottles.

The distillery LEDAIG TOBERMORY

Scotland, Isle of Mull. Distillery operational. Owner: Burn Stewart Distillers, Distell.

Founded in 1798, the Isle of Mull's only distillery was, from 1972 to 1975, known as Ledaig, before being renamed Tobermory. From this now confidently assumed dual identity came two single malts with two completely different profiles. Whilst such a difference can result from different distillation methods, in this case it primarily comes down to whether or not the malt is peated. The Tobermory malt therefore becomes either Ledaig (Mr Hyde) when expressing its heavily peated, mysterious side, or Tobermory (Dr Jekyll) when revealing its more accessible, unpeated and easy-going profile. This, alongside maturations that veer from one extreme (first fill Oloroso) to another (refill bourbon), provides a glimpse of just some of what this multi-faceted distillery has to offer.Whether you prefer Ledaig or Tobermory, one thing is certain, the 1972 vintage aged in a first-fill sherry cask is in a category of its own. Whether in a distillery version or independent bottling, these expressions go through the ceiling when released for sale. Collectors take note!
