Ledaig 11, 2009-2020, 54.4% – The Whisky Kingdom

Posted on 8 May 2020 by

Yet another bottling for the German ‘Wu Dram Clan’. I guess Wu Dram is striving to be forever. This time it’s a Ledaig, or peated Tobermory if you will, from a bourbon hogshead. I was a bit apprehensive about it … Continue reading →

BTC #14: Ledaig 11, 2005-2017, 58.6% – Signatory

Posted on 20 December 2017 by

Yes! Another zero pointer! I’m getting back to my usual self, apparently. Also, my Peatometer is broken. Or I’m having more of a cold than I though. Or my sample was weird. I don’t really think I can blame things … Continue reading →

Ledaig 1999-2015, 46% – Gordon & MacPhail’s Connoisseurs Choice

Posted on 4 January 2017 by

Since I’m trying to ‘pay my dues’ to the people who sent me samples over the last year or so, I just grabbed the one closest to me when I checked my cupboard. It just happened to be this Ledaig. … Continue reading →

BTC Sample 18: Tobermory 20, 1995-2015, 54.7%, Rest & Be Thankful

Posted on 24 December 2016 by

This Rest & Be Thankful brand is a bit of a strange one. When they started bottling two years ago they got things riled up with some hugely overpriced Octomores. If I remember correctly those were twice as expensive as the … Continue reading →

Tobermory 1972-2005, 32 years old, Oloroso sherry cask finish, 49.5%

Posted on 30 July 2015 by

Somehow, it seems to be a legendary year for many a distillery. 1972. GlenDronach, Caperdonich, but also Ledaig and Tobermory. Ledaig 1972 is one of the ‘argument’ whiskies people mention when I state I generally don’t like Ledaig. I’ve never … Continue reading →

Ledaig Dùsgadh 42yo, 1972-2015, 46.7%

Posted on 19 June 2015 by

I generally don’t like Ledaig, as I’ve said on multiple occasions before. I also generally don’t get samples of this caliber. Luckily, I was at our 25th Anniversary party of the Usquebaugh Society last weekend, and Ronald Zwartepoorte brought the … Continue reading →
