Tasting Notes
Colour
mahogany with brownish hues
air Nose
but what is this? Smoked gravy with mint? Redistilled 19th century Bourgogne? Egyptian walnut liqueur? Seriously, I think I never nosed such a thing: imagine a random mixture of English brown sauce, oxtail, old leather, coal and coal smoke, soot, smoked bacon, gunpowder, saltpetre, dried kelp, prawns (any kind of seafood actually), liquorice, coffee, oyster sauce, cloves, rancio, flor... The list would be endless, so let’s stop it, but no need to say this is magnificent. Let’s only hope that Tobermory started to make some similar Ledaigs again (not the ersatzes they made in the 1980’s and 1990’s)
restaurant Palate
amazing power and huge spiciness! What a beast! The Mike Tyson of whisky (come on, Serge), with peat and phenols instead of jabs, meat instead of hooks and spices instead of uppercuts. I’m sorry but the rest will be censored by the anti-maltoporn brigade
timer Finish
yup – KO. Amazing whisky, in the vein of other fabulous 1972 Ledaigs such as some oldies like the ones by James MacArthur
