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

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