A lovely expression full of salted caramel and soft peat smoke. 85/100

Ledaig 10 Years Old 2008 The Single Cask (54.3%, Claxton’s, Refill HH #1851-700075, 304 Bottles, 2018)
Ledaig 10 Years Old 2008 The Single Cask Whisky Review: Another superb expression, the complete antithesis of colour = flavour, much like many young Islay whiskies. A lovely mixture of fruit and smoke with more than an indication on the nose of exactly where it came from. 86/100

Ledaig 19 Years Old 1998 PX Cask Finish (55.7%, OB, 360 bottles, 2018)
Ledaig 19 Years Old 1998 PX Cask Finish whisky review: Wow, completely different from the Ledaig 1998 Oloroso finish, this is a super expression with much more intense dried fruit, nut and chocolate influence balanced better againats the smoky Ledaig spirit. A touch mentholic but a great example of where this works in conjunction with rich dark chocolate. 90/100
Ledaig 19 Years Old 1998 Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish (46.3%, OB, 2400 Bottles, 2018)
Ledaig 19 Years Old 1998 Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish whisky review: Fruity and smoky but for me a little too light in places, hardly any barley malt and much too fine/light a spirit for these flavours, needs more oils, also some funk on the nose which may not be to everyone’s liking. 83/100
Ledaig 12 Years Old Discovery (43%, Gordon & MacPhail, 2018)
Ledaig 12 Years Old Discovery Island single malt Scotch whisky review: For me Ledaig can be brilliant and on a par with Ardbeg with the first sip and like drinking out of stale beer can used as an ashtray from the party the night before the next. This is one of the great ones, and mostly thanks to Gordon & MacPhail’s excellent cask management here. The Sherry influence isn’t overt but just an addition of dried fruit, nut and tannin in the right places to carry this expression. The end result is actually quite amazing. 85/100
