LEDAIG - Distilled 1972 Ltd Edition
Island Malt Whisky
This whisky finished its maturation in Oloroso sherry butts and has a deep natural colour.
Unchillfiltered and bottled at natural cask strength.
This is sure to be popular, as this vintage of Ledaig has great rarity but wide renown.
I have only tasted this whisky once but, by god, was it good. An incredibly smooth yet complex flavour, dominated by chocolate and rose-petal notes, it's truely stunning. My friend who's whisky it was didn't seem too keen to splash a second round about, and understandably so. His was a 21st. birthday present (and he's now late thirties!) and at the price it is you would only ever bless people with it twice a year perhaps. But when that time comes, you'll not be sorry!
