Summary

This whisky hails from the Isle of Mull, showcasing the unique characteristics of the Ledaig distillery. Aged for 22 years, it has been finished in Pedro Ximénez (PX) casks, which impart a rich, sweet complexity to the spirit. The extended maturation period allows for a deep integration of flavors, resulting in a well-rounded and sophisticated profile.

The influence of the PX cask finish is evident, adding layers of dried fruit and sherry sweetness to the whisky. This complements the inherent peaty and maritime notes typical of Ledaig, creating a harmonious balance between sweetness and smokiness. The whisky's age brings a mature, dignified character, with a smooth and lingering finish.

Ideal for those who appreciate a complex and nuanced whisky, this expression offers a delightful interplay of flavors. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, it promises a memorable tasting experience that reflects the craftsmanship and heritage of the Ledaig distillery.
