Ledaig 12 Year Old 2008 Hermitage Cask Finish G&M

Quantity limited to 1 bottle per household.

Bottled from a small batch of barrels at 45%, this Ledaig 12 year old Hermitage finish has a fruity and smoky profile. The 36 months spent in red wine barrels, at the end of its maturation, gave it warm notes of black fruits and spices, combining perfectly with the peaty and saline character of this peated whisky from the Tobermory distillery. 

Located on the Isle of Mull, the Tobermory distillery was founded in 1798. Renamed Ledaig in 1972 when it reopened after 42 years of closure, it was closed again in 1975 before reopening under the name Tobermory in 1989. 

It produces two single malts, one unpeated, eponymously called Tobermory, and the other peated (between 30-40ppm of phenols), under the name Ledaig. To develop the latter, the distillery obtains its barley from the Port Ellen malt house on Islay.
