#ledaig18

If you're passing through Eugene, OR - stop in at @thebarnlight and check out their Break Even Bottle - a one ounce pour at cost. It's an awesome opportunity to try something rare, expensive, or unique. Maybe it's all three! Today it's Ledaig 18, a sherried peat bomb scotch. It's rich, spicy, smokey, fruity, down right delicious. Thanks to Katie for lovely service! . . . #ledaig #ledaig18 #sherry #peat #isleofmull #tobermory #thebarnlight #breakevenbottle #pnw #beaversinduckcountry #aquavitae #uiscebeatha #uisgebeatha #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #whiskey #whiskyaesthetic #womenwhowhiskey @tobermorydistillery (at The Barn Light) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzER3EpH7PC/?igshid=35rxdzvaifsy

#ledaigwhisky #singlemaltscotch #ledaig18 #alkobaton #alcobaronofficial Ledaig 18 Year Old Batch 3 – review Color: Burgundy. On the nose: Firm yet gentle peat & smoke; hints of chocolate and coffee. Hints of lingering sulfur. Strawberry chocolate, dates, some sort of mint chocolate due to the pepperiness, and chocolate notes. Slight appearances of sultanas. In the mouth: Gentle peat and smoke with spices, pink peppercorn, dates. Hints of lingering sulfur with some sultanas. Mint chocolate, peppers and chocolate cherries. Some quick herbal notes like coriander, thyme and sage at the end. Conclusions A very one-faced whisky. It’s surprising that a peated whisky this old still has a fiery peat and smoke flavor. The peat of other 18-year-old peated whiskeys I’ve had have mellowed down to nuttier notes. It’s not very complex, but everything lingers long enough to be savored. I like that despite the sherry influence, the sulfur notes are weak. I guess it’s the peat holding the sulfur notes back. Mint chocolate notes are quite unusual but I like it! https://www.instagram.com/p/B6l58J6nx7a/?igshid=b7hp8pw6nfbe
