Ed's review
Colour: Natural colour, straw. Lots of oily legs slide down the side of my glass.
Nose: Sticky honey glazed ham. Barbecued pineapple - fresh and juicy, yet caramelised and charred. Chilli, oil and vinegar dipping sauce. A faint grassy note.
Palate: Medium mouthfeel. Sweet and spicy glazed pork ribs, smokey from the BBQ. More peat smoke. Orange, papaya and pineapple. Oak and warming spice.
Finish: Medium to long. Dark gingerbread decorated with dried orange, Christmas spice, and brown sugar. A savoury, smokey note that lingers on the tongue.
An awesome whisky.
About This Murray McDavid Whisky
Overlooking the fishing harbour on the Isle of Mull, Tobermory Distillery produces both unpeated and heavily peated spirit. The latter is bottled under the distillery’s original name, Ledaig (pronounced lay-chack). This rich, oily single malt spent its final years in a special rum cask from Diamond Distillery, in Guyana.
For the last 30 months, 's Whisky Creations Team has waited with anticipation to share this brilliantly boisterous single malt with whisky lovers across the UK.
