Bottle #レダイグ(LEDAIG)
A delicious Ledaig where fruits, barley, and peat are blended together. Ledaig LEDAIG 1979 Official Bottling 43% 1990s Bottling The aroma features orange, vanilla, honey, clay-like peat, plantiness, and a faint smoke. Upon drinking, it begins with a soft mouthfeel, gradually expanding into a deep, rustic barley umami, mild honey sweetness, and a stronger peat presence than the aroma. The clay-like finish is short-lived. 【Good/Very Good】 A peaty malt from the Tobermory Distillery, this is the official 1979 bottling of Ledaig. The aroma carries a refined elegance with orange, vanilla, and honey, accompanied by a slightly clay-like peatiness. Upon tasting, the rustic barley umami is prominent, with the peat feeling more pronounced than in the aroma. For a peaty whisky, its light impression reflects Tobermory's character. Whether due to aging in the bottle or natural blending, the components harmonize well, creating a cohesive and enjoyable drinking experience.
