Carn Mor Ledaig 16 Year

This item is archived.

This peated whisky from Tobermory is from a pair of hogshead casks bottled at 46%. A total outrun of 609 bottles. On the nose it is a typical Ledaig, quite rubbery, but the palate is lovely, moderately peated and layered.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: nutty, rubbery and leathery with wet clay, damp grains and building salty smoke; some fruit and honey but they are shy.

Palate: sweeter than expected, draws me back to childhood hard licorice candies and other grown up treats, soft eathy peat and lots of barley sugars; still earthy but not as rubbery as expected;

Finish: long, light and surprisingly clean, more barley sugars and clean peaty smoke;

Comment: not a fan of the nose but the palate was interesting.
