Almost non-existent. Disappointing. |
|
Rich and smoky |
Again disappointing. Could use some more aging perhaps. |
I love Ledaig but prefer their more aged expressions (15, 18). |

Doesn't beg for water. Not fun to drink but well balanced. Did I say well balanced - has broad Scotch characteristics. |

Delicious. Pretzel and salt. What a rare experience with a single malt. |
|
Are you seriously kidding me? This is nothing short of an amazing single malt. Even after the legendary 15 I couldn’t imagine Ledaig had this in them. Indescribable really. Won the evening’s “vote off” for top malt. |

Seems like it's trying to show off the sherry on purpose |
Light - sweet |
|
Tasty - not as "islandy" a flavor as Ledaig 15 |
Has an aftertaste due to the sherry |
Doesn't really need the sherry impact. Seems like an opportunistic marketing idea to me. They should have saved the casks for more Ledaig 15. |
