Peat with pedigree. Smoke meets sherry in glorious harmony.
From the windswept Isle of Mull, Ledaig 18 Year Old - sherry cask finish is a powerhouse dram that proves peat and elegance can absolutely go hand in hand. Distilled at the Tobermory Distillery and finished in rich Oloroso sherry casks, this single malt is a beautifully complex collision of smoke, spice, and sweet sophistication.
After 18 years of slow maturation — including a final flourish in sherry casks — Ledaig 18 hits all the right notes. Think: smoked meats, salted caramel, dried fruits, and a touch of gunpowder. It’s bold but balanced, with layers of flavour that evolve with every sip.
Nose: Smouldering bonfire, dried figs, leathery oak, and a hit of maritime salt.
Palate: Rich and oily, with sweet smoke, peppery spice, raisins, and dark chocolate.
Finish: Long, warming, and slightly savoury – smoke, spice, and a whisper of wine-soaked oak.
Sherry + Smoke Combo: The Oloroso cask finish adds depth and decadence to Ledaig’s signature peated style.
Seriously Aged: 18 years of patient maturation bring complexity without losing that punchy island character.
Unfiltered & Natural: Bottled with integrity – no chill-filtration or added colouring. Just honest whisky.
Ledaig 18 is a dram for those who love their whisky bold, smoky, and unapologetically rich. Whether you’re a peat head looking for something mature or a sherry cask fan craving something a bit more rebellious, this bottle delivers.
