I am sure you are aware of the fact that Ledaig is actually the peated version of Tobermory. If not, you are welcome. David Stirk apparently has quite a few casks of Ledaig. This is already the fourth…

Since October 2010, Burn Stewart no longer applies chill filtration and has therefor started bottling all of their whisky at 46,3% ABV. Ledaig (say letsjick) is, as you probably know, the peaty whisky…

Dun Bheagan is a label marketed by Ian MacLeods Distillers (who also own Glengoyne and Tamdhu) and usually contains relatively young whisky at an attractive price. This 11 Year Old Ledaig was finished…

The HP 25 Year Old will set you back around 265 EUR, making it (for me at least) the highest achievable (it ain’t no Toshan, after all). So I am going to enjoy this sample very slowly. It has a nice dark…
