The Tobermory distillery produces two single malts, alternating over a six-month period: the unpeated 'Tobermory' and the heavily peated 'Ledaig'. Different barley varieties are used to make the two whiskies, but they are then distilled in the same stills. Ledaig single malts are sweet, smoky whiskies, known for their strong personality, made exclusively with strongly peated malt - the result is an exquisite whisky with delicious marine flavors.
Nose: Rich, sweet aromas with notes of vanilla, caramel, berries and fresh herbs. Mouth: Toasty oak, fruit and great sweetness. Finish: Smooth, with hints of oak.
Nose: Beautiful notes of lavender, vetiver and incense candles. There's a touch of leather, a little almond and a hint of wax. A drop of water opens up the aromatic spectrum, revealing hints of wood smoke, damp peat, a hint of menthol and more old leather.
Mouth: Salty and creamy, savory, eucalyptus oil, salted caramel, smoked pecans, wood smoke, creosote and tar. There's also a background of sweetness, like smoked pear crumble and a bit of fudge.
Finish: Notes of leather, salted caramel and a refreshing menthol sensation.
Nose: Ardbeg Smokiverse offers intense aromas of peat smoke, sea salt and medicinal notes typical of Islay whiskies. Mouth: On the palate, this single malt reveals powerful, complex flavors of peat, black pepper, licorice and dried fruit, accompanied by an oily texture and a touch of vanilla. Finish: The finish is long and persistent, giving way to notes of peat smoke, burnt oak and citrus zest.
