This isn’t an old whisky, nor does it promise much investor upside, but lovers of Ledaig will buy it because it's so distinctive. Distilled in 2007 and bottled at high strength by tiny Italian independent, 'Hidden Spirits' after maturation in an x Bourbon cask.

Tasting note: [20ml sample] The kind of smokey-coastal whiff that Ledaig does so well: laced with dark chocolate and baked citrus, later passes turning sooty and earthy with a touch of farmyard developing. It's full throttle, chewy and intense malt with a smokey-menthol-like entry and cocoa heaped on as heavily as the peat. Lots of salt and pepper spice too, especially at the finish where a little citrus and lavender-like freshness enters. A formidable Ledaig with serious staying power. If you enjoy Ardbeg try this. 52.2% Alc./Vol.
