Ledaig 'Single Malts of Scotland' 2004 / 17 years old 56.8%

This whisky evokes very strongly where and how it is made - smoky, maritime and full of minerality. Similar to sticking your head in an unlit but well used peat kiln at a distillery. Seaweed, on rocks, drying in the sun, along with lemon peel and dulse. To taste, lemon juice and salt, sprinkled on freshly caught oysters. Ashy lemon marshmallows, charred on sticks at a beach bonfire. A great example of Tobermory's spectacular peated spirit, aged for 17 years.
