TASTING NOTES
Nose: Distinctive Ledaig notes of rubber and industrial smoke are softened by aromas of vanilla and tropical fruit. A touch of maritime brine and sweet malt creates an intriguing bouquet.
Palate: The palate is oily and well-integrated, featuring a blend of smoky bacon and sweet molasses. The rum cask influence brings notes of ginger and brown sugar to the earthy peated base.
Finish: Long and evolving, with the smoke turning ashy and the rum influence providing a lingering spicy sweetness. A truly innovative and balanced dram with a saline final touch.
