Whisky of the Year 2023: Ledaig 18 Year Old – Whisky Exchange News
January 20th, 2023
WHISKY OF THE YEAR:
LEDAIG 18 YEAR OLD
The shortlist for our Whisky of the Year 2023 included drams from the highlands and the islands, bold peat bombs, a fruity red wine cask single malt and a rich, coastal whisky. After much deliberation the votes were cast and the winner was clear: Ledaig 18 Year Old.
It’s a richly smoky single malt from Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull and the oldest expression in its heavily-peated Ledaig range. Time spent in ex-sherry casks has added layers of fruit and nuts that temper the earthy, robust smoke that Ledaig is known for, offering waves of herbal peat smoke, orange peel, rich coffee and sea salt on the palate.
