Tobermory is a small place and most people who visit the town will walk along the main street beside the iconic, multi-coloured facades, and consider that the entirety of Tobermory. There are houses arranged up on the hill, bed and breakfasts, hotels and a few businesses, but the majority of interesting stuff is crammed into this one thin strip between a towering cliff face and the Sound of Mull. There’s spice after a little time for the glass to mature, slightly citrus like lemon pepper. It’s a very well balanced and married set of aromas and a very friendly nose indeed.

That isn’t to say it’s deft in its manoeuvres. It’s a fairly evenly spread blast of the more bitter-edged fruits - grapefruit, orange pith and almost a lemon zest spritz. The finish is long enough that I’m still tasting the echos of that sooty peat, but with the ghost of a boiled sweet around the periphery. After several independent bottlings, we return to those produced directly by the Tobermory distillery in its peated version, Ledaig. with one of the newest additions to their portfolio.

This delightful cask finished whisky is the first of the new Sinclair series from Tobermory’s Ledaig brand.

Light start - quite even keeled. There’s a bit of oak and peat - earthy and slightly vegetal. A small sour edge with simple syrup. Spice, Plasticine and tropical concentrate. The new-make farm character appears on the palate too. Really tasty.
