Ledaig 2010, The Whisky Jury
Nose: beautifully naked, with peat and wet wool, as well as sweet lemon and some freshly baked bread. Smoked sourdough, where can I buy that? Wet rocks, some mulching leafs. Over time it develops more apples and lemons, with a hint of ozone.
Mouth: sweet and smoky onset, with the slightly dirty Ledaig character coming out. Very earthy, with some dark chocolate, tarry ropes and smoked almonds in the background. Lemons again, even hints of smoked peaches, ink and herbal notes. Great balance of power and drinkability.
Finish: long, slightly medicinal, now with more apples, chocolate and salty peat. Great tobacco and soot in the very end.
Just a clean, deeply smoky and relatively layered Ledaig, with some nice fruity touches and chocolate sweetness. Good selection again. Originally good value at € 80, but now sold out everywhere.
