Uncover the secrets of Ledaig 9 Year Old Bordeaux Red Wine Cask, a distinguished expression of peated whisky from the historic Tobermory distillery on the captivating Isle of Mull. Pronounced "led chig" with a soft 'd', mastering this unique pronunciation is a badge of honor for true whisky aficionados, and this rare bottling exemplifies that expertise.
This exceptional single malt diverges from the norm by spending its entire maturation period in European oak casks that once cradled the rich red wines of Bordeaux. The casks, selected for their ability to impart a distinctive character, infuse the whisky with layers of complexity that are both robust and alluring. The influence of these Bordeaux casks elevates the spirit, imparting nuanced flavouys of dark fruits, subtle spice, and a gentle tannic structure that perfectly balances the signature smoky profile of Ledaig.
Distilled with passion and precision on the Isle of Mull, Ledaig 9 Year Old is celebrated for its well-integrated peat smoke that provides a robust foundation. At a formidable 56.8% ABV, this expression is bottled at cask strength, ensuring that the intensity and depth of its flavours remain unadulterated. With every sip, whisky enthusiasts are treated to an authentic tasting experience that highlights the interplay between the smoky essence of peated malt and the refined, wine-cask influence.
Ideal for those who appreciate a whisky with unparalleled depth and character, this rare release offers a sensory journey reminiscent of rugged Scottish landscapes and the historic vineyards of Bordeaux. Enjoy it neat, with a splash of water to open up its layers, or as the centerpiece of a sophisticated cocktail. Whether you are a dedicated collector or a connoisseur looking for a distinctive dram, Ledaig 9 Year Old Bordeaux Red Wine Cask stands as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and innovative cask maturation.
As you approach, the nose reveals enchanting notes reminiscent of sweet tawny Port, intertwined with the invigorating scents of sea breeze and bonfires. The palate unfolds into a rich and spicy symphony, where black pepper, ginger, and black cherries dance harmoniously, leaving behind a trail of lingering smoke and the subtle allure of cured meats.
The journey concludes with a long and captivating finish, marked by a delightful interplay of saltiness and the lingering sweetness of ripe fruits. Experience the artistry of Ledaig, where every sip tells a story of complexity, depth, and the unique charm of this peated whisky.
