Ledaig 10 Year Old Hebridean Moon Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Inspired by Mull's Baliscate Stones (said to be aligned with the lunar cycle and a symbol of renewal), this limited-edition is crafted in Tobermory's newest stills, installed in 2014. It's also the first-ever distillery bottling of Ledaig 10 released at cask strength. Maturation took place entirely in second-fill ex-bourbon casks. 58.8% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

Other reviews... A lot of punch, of course. Bags of lemons and lemon peelings, with mild vanilla cake, more leather and green apples, maybe even some unripe pineapple. A creamy sweetness runs underneath. Nice hints of antiseptics. Then also mentholated notes, more green nuts and green pepper, along with some light tobacco. Growing pepper and lemon. Finish: long and warming, with some oak spice, citrus freshness and plenty of medicinal peat smoke. A good bottling, I thought this was fresher than the standard 10 Year Old. On par with all of the independent bottlings that gave us such strength (sometimes with a nasty butyric edge). Not cheap, but I like it. - whiskynotes.be
