Facts

Ledaig is the peated soul of Tobermory distillery, the only distillery on the Isle of Mull. The name reaches back to the original distillery founded in 1798, kept alive through this heavily peated expression. Sherry cask maturation wraps the smoke and brine in layers of chocolate and vanilla. Salt and wax sit beside malty, oily depth. The finish lingers with smoke and a gentle sherry sweetness. It is a whisky that carries the character of Mull's coastline — rugged, warm, and hard to forget.

About the Ledaig Single Malt

Ledaig Single Malt is a peated Island whisky from Scotland, produced at the only distillery on the Isle of Mull. Ledaig is the original name of what is now Tobermory distillery. It was founded in 1798 by John Sinclair — one of Scotland's oldest surviving distilleries. The Ledaig name is reserved for the heavily peated expression from Tobermory. The distillery also produces unpeated spirit under the Tobermory name. Ledaig Single Malt carries the older identity and a distinctly smoky character. The smoke level is high and deliberate. Sherry wood and the coastal air of Mull work together across the maturation period. Maturation in sherry casks adds sweetness and depth to that coastal base. In the glass, the sherry influence is clear. Notes of milk chocolate and vanilla soften the edges. Malty and oily layers build through the palate. A wax and sea salt character speaks directly to Mull's Atlantic setting. Woody richness rounds out a finish that is both medicinal and sweet. Ledaig Single Malt is bottled at 46.3% ABV, a strength that keeps the spirit lively and expressive. There is enough weight in the texture to hold the flavour together. The combination of sherry cask sweetness and heavy peat creates a profile that is genuinely distinctive. Pour it neat to get the full effect. For anyone exploring peated Scotch whisky beyond the usual names, Ledaig is a rewarding find. It carries genuine heritage and a distinctive production story. The sherry maturation makes the flavour profile richer without losing the edge that peated Island malts need. Ledaig Single Malt makes a worthy gift for whisky lovers and a strong addition to any shelf.
