Ledaig 19 2001 The Whisky Agency Heads & Tails, Canada

Thanks to /u/devoz for the sample poured as part of the “end of year” tasting we had. It’s in quotes as we didn’t mean the end of the lunar year, which we were also late for, thus I haven’t properly explained the quotes. To the next subject! As it’s our “special” tasting for the year, and we’re […]

Ledaig 12 2008 Amarone Cask Finish

Another Ledaig? Sure, another Ledaig. For a distillery I consistently mention as being too expensive and that I have to get over because it’s hard to find, I certainly have been reviewing it a bunch, eh? I’m a peat head, what can I say. So I’m a hypocrite, we’ve cemented that, however with whisky bars […]

Ledaig 16 2005 Single Malts of Scotland

Thanks to /u/devoz for pouring me this dram. Last whisky of the tasting. Not going to lie: This was an exciting, terrible idea. If I didn’t have the breaks these notes would be “whisky” repeated about 12 times. I even was worried about some of them, taking extra time. Don’t be like me: Stop at 5 for […]

Ledaig Hebridean Mulligan 23 1997 Hunter Laing Old Malt Cask

Thanks to /u/the_muskox for this dram. Peanut butter and jelly. Peanut butter and chocolate. Peanut butter and chicken satay. Heck, peanut butter and just about everything works, except for sex for some. Not everyone has a sex tarp nor likes to have to break out the jif when they want to bone. What does all of the […]

Ledaig 2008 Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice – Wood Finish

Thanks to /u/devoz for pouring this sample for me. It’s weird: I feel like this is the third time I’ve reviewed a Ledaig that was put into Hermitage casks, however I’m probably (Editor’s Note: Confirmed) thinking of a Caol Ila. The idea here is pretty simple, and if you check my review of the 2005 vintage you’ll […]

Ledaigs of many a variety

There’s an awkward thing I bring up around Tobermory/Ledaig and there’s an obvious thing. The awkward thing is due to the “body” or “stinky cheese” or “Brevibacterium” there are a variety of different comments, from the mundane “this is why I don’t like blue cheese” to uncomfortable comments about a variety of sex workers in […]

Ledaig 17 Blackadder Raw Cask / Ledaig 19 Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish

OB or IB? There are pros and cons to each, really. You end up paying more for OBs. However, you can take a picture of it and people on the internet will adore the picture. Or perhaps will just be jealous. IBs don’t get that love, and I don’t really get it, but here we […]

Ledaig 42 Dùsgadh

Thanks to /u/xile_ for swapping /u/unclebaldric for this dram. Man, I really went through an epic tasting phase. I hope it doesn’t warp me. I mean, I put my golden shoes on one foot at a time, in my giant mansion, just like everyone else. I keep talking like that and I may need to buy myself into politics. […]

6 Ledaig Reviews

Ledaig. On Reddit, that place where bad and good things happen, I’m the third most prolific reviewer of Ledaig. Last I checked. Let’s do that now, before I screw up and put my foot in my mouth, again. Alright, it basically backs me up. I think. Who knows if people have been archiving? Whatever. When […]

Ledaig 19 1997 Carn Mor Celebration of the Cask

The past few years I’ve had more and more Ledaig. It’s pretty simple to see why: The whisky tastes good at a young age, isn’t from Islay but is peated, and my fellow whisky friends are big fans of it. Thus when I had the chance for a friend to bring back a bottle of Ledaig […]
