Ledaig 6 yo (2020), Signatory – 100 Proof Edition #76, 57.1%

Introduction

Ledaig is the peated single malt from Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull in the Scottish islands – a whisky of uncompromising maritime character, deeply rooted in the island’s rugged nature and coastal landscape. Signatory Vintage, one of Scotland’s most respected independent bottlers, has selected this 6-year-old expression for their exclusively curated 100 Proof Edition, which showcases robust single malts in cask strength style.

Production Method

• Ingredients: Peated malted barley from Tobermory Distillery, Isle of Mull, Scotland – with a peat level that delivers a distinctively powerful and coastal smoke profile
• Distillation process: Traditional pot still distillation at Tobermory Distillery, distilled in 2020
• Maturation: Matured in a combination of Refill Oloroso Sherry Hogsheads and Refill Bourbon Barrels over 6 years, contributing layers of fruit, vanilla and a gentle dried fruit sweetness
• Special techniques: Bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of the exclusive 100 Proof Edition (#76) at natural cask strength of 57.1%, without colouring or chill-filtration

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bold coastal smoke, briny peat and fresh citrus, supported by hints of vanilla and dried fruit from the sherry and bourbon casks
• Palate: Powerful and full-bodied with bold peaty smoke, salty sea breeze, citrus peel and a fiery spiciness, rounded out by charred oak and a gentle sweetness from the oloroso sherry cask
• Finish: Long and maritime with lingering smoke, salt and a warm spicy finish that slowly fades towards dry oak and citrus

Serving Suggestions

• Serving temperature: Room temperature, approximately 18–20°C
• Glass recommendation: Tulip glass or Glencairn glass to concentrate the aromas and provide protection from the high-proof spirit vapours
• Serving ideas: Best enjoyed neat or with a single drop of cold water to open up the whisky and tame the spirit heat, drawing out the complex smoke and fruit nuances
• Food pairings: Smoked salmon, oysters, robust cheeses such as aged cheddar or blue cheese, as well as dark chocolate, which plays beautifully against the intensity of the peat
