Ledaig 18, 46.3%
I’ve often ranted about how I don’t like Ledaig. Of course, there was that little 42 year old that was just out of this earth and so ridiculously good looking at that might be considered Malt Porn. It’s one insane … Continue reading

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

Ledaig 2004-2014, 51.6% – Liquid Art (Pink Salmon label)
Right. A pink salmon, with insects for fins or so. Weird. Anyway, to get this out of the way: I don’t like Ledaig. It displays flavors that I don’t find interesting. It has a weird smokiness that is strangely clean, … Continue reading

Blind Tasting Competition 4: Ledaig 8yo, 2005-2014, 53.3% – Whisky-Fässle
Yesterday was a proof in point that I can somehow trust my palate. I still am afraid of making a total ass of myself by stating something contrary to what I’ve said before on my blog. So far so good, … Continue reading

Ledaig 16yo, 1997-2013, 56.8% – Gordon and Macphail for The Whisky Exchange
Ledaig and Tobermory, a distillery that supposedly releases some kick-ass drams every now and then, but one that I’ve never fallen in love with. I’ve tried quite a lot of the young Ledaigs from a couple years ago and can’t … Continue reading

Tobermory 15yo, 46.3%, Limited Edition 2008
Ah, Tobermory. I have a weird relationship with that distillery. When I went to my first whisky tasting ever, in Den Bosch at Barrique, there was one which I thought absolutely sublime. I only ended up not buying it since … Continue reading

Ledaig 7yo, 2005, 62.8% – Archives, Fishes of Samoa
First things first. I have no experience with Ledaig from the 1970s. I do have some experience with Ledaig from the last 20 years or so. I do not like those whiskies. Every time I try one I hope that … Continue reading

Tobermory, batch 1, 53.8% – That Boutique-y Whisky Company
That Boutique-y Whisky Company was launched last year at Maltstock, so it’s nearing its first birthday in early September. In the meantime they have bottled quite a bit of small batch releases, not coincidentally in a pattern comparable to Master … Continue reading
