This delicious 13 Year Old single cask expression of Ledaig was distilled at the Tobermory distillery, on the Isle of Mull, in January 2008 and finished in a Sherry Butt, for a particular-ly extended period of time, before being bottled in 2021 as The Christmas Edition release from the Old Particular range by Douglas Laing.
Deliciously dark and full of festive cheer, this merry cask strength release is bursting with chimney soot, peated barley and brown sugar, making it the ultimate dram to sip during the festive period, or for that matter, anytime you are feeling particular-ly festive!
Be tempted by a burst of maple-smoked bacon on the nose, followed by rich winter spices, dark and juicy red fruits and a coal dust quality on the palate.
Only 299 bottles were released, each enclosed within a wooden gift box, and each box label has been hand-signed by Fred Laing.

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.
