2011 Claxton's Warehouse No.8 Ledaig 10 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Bottled at an age when Ledaig is known to shine, this is more subdued on the nose than expected, developing cocoa, farmyard, distant iodine and whiffs of salinity. A more positive 'Ledaigian' presence in the mouth: Concentrated and chunky, like chewing on walnut chocolate fudge, the peat feels laced with cocoa; Maritime freshness accentuates at the finish, along with flamed citrus and a thrust of spice before the earthy peat comes full circle. 55.5% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 74 bottles from an oloroso sherry octave.
