The story of handcrafted Ledaig 42 Year Old begins on the Isle of Mull at Tobermory Distillery, the only distillery on the island and amongst the oldest commercial distilleries in Scotland.
Named Dùsgadh, meaning ‘awakening’ in Scot’s Gaelic, reflecting the long, dormant period of maturation, this is the rarest and oldest Ledaig ever released.
The luxurious packaging which houses Ledaig 42YO has been inspired by the copper from the retired stills, which released the first spirit in 1972 and has finally reached the end of its distilling life.
The aged copper has been used as part of the Ledaig 42 Year Old packaging to celebrate this milestone and honour its rich heritage.
This Ledaig 42 Year Old is un-chilfiltered, ensuring that more of the whisky’s natural aroma, flavour and texture remain in the bottle, deepening the taste.
Nose: Rich and complex, intense phenolic sherry aromas. Next comes a sooty smokiness with fragrant wood, toffee apple and some sweet biscuit maltiness.
Palate: Relatively dry, this evolves to a rich smoky oloroso sherry character. Massive complex layers of dark chocolate, coffee and cherry liqueurs. Extremely smooth, well balanced with hints of spice from ginger and black peppercorn.
Finish: Dry, smooth and spicy, satisfying and very long with a salty smoky tail.
