Ledaig 10 Cask Strength
What happens when you make an already great bottle of whisky even better? Well, you get a cask strength Ledaig 10!
We’ve all been waiting for so long for an official release of this stunning bottle of whisky from the Isle of Mull, and it’s everything you could want from it. It is a explosive, smoky, medicinal, layered, sweet, citrusy, over-the-top flavour bomb that drops definition and style in every sip.
When I first opened this bottle I was a little worried as it was a little quiet. Happy to report that it is know the equivalent of driving a convertible car through a hail storm whilst having a fist fight with some sort of Scottish peat demon that wants to incapacitate you.
That sound good enough?

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 574: Scotland 2025 – 5 of 6 – Ben Nevis, Dalwhinnie & Tomatin
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, travels to Scotland. This is part 5 of a 6-part series about his trip to Scotland this year. In this video, he takes the ferry from Skye to the mainland and passes by the Glenfinnan Viaduct, famous from the Harry Potter films. Then he heads towards Fort William, where he visits the Ben Nevis distillery. He continues his journey to the Dalwhinnie distillery, passes by the Centre of Scotland Stone, and on the way to Inverness, he makes a brief stop at the Tomatin distillery. Enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Johnnie Walker Black Label, 40%
In the world of massive brand deals and the still premiumisation of Scotch whisky, here we have a constant that hasn’t changed much in the space of the whisky industry. A combination of so many different flavours from across all of Scotland, malts and grains, aged for a minimum of twelve years and blended to create this multitude of balance, style, and timelessness.
As you can tell, Black Label is a favourite of mine. The story of how this whisky hooked me is an important one and is included in this video, but please do share your stories with me, even if they don’t include Black Label in any way.
This bottle has the history to put many other brands to bed, and indeed without this bottle, the Scottish whisky industry, along with many others wouldn’t be anywhere near as successful or important as it currently is.
