Raided Score: 85The Daily Pour By t8ke This is really great, especially for a younger core expression. Nice work, Ledaig. Read Full Review Raided Score: 89Wine Enthusiast By Kara Newman The smoky notes grow bolder with repeated sips. Read Full Review Raided Score: 88WhiskyCast By Mark Gillespie The finish has a lingering brininess, soft pepper and peat, and a hint of chocolate. Read Full Review Raided Score: 83Whisky Advocate By John Hansell In some respects, it even tastes younger than 10 years old, but I’m balancing that with bonus points for distinctiveness. Read Full Review Raided Score: 83Whiskyfun By Serge A very, very fine Ledaig, for sure. It’s just that the thousands of indie bottlers around us are having even better ones these days. Only IMHO, of course Read Full Review Raided Score: 90Distiller By Stephanie Moreno The smoke is more akin to roasting coals rather than wood and finishes with some baking spices. Read Full Review Raided Score: 81SpiritSurveyor By Lane Southard This wasn’t super peated as some people might think but I think it is rather well balanced and has a fair amount of oomf and flavor to it. Sweet, peat, and citrus are a winning combo in my book. Read Full Review Raided Score is a conversion from an external site's score, to our in house uniform scoring system.

House Review
Nose:
Huge mineral wiff, earthy, dirty peat. Faint iodine. Faint fishy marine notes. Vanilla cream, confectioners sugar. Nice brine and pepper component.
Taste:
Thin, but no heat. Sweet vanilla, lots of chalky, mineral peat smoke. Some pepper, caramel and cream.
Finish:
Long, earthy and smokey. Lots of minerals here. The peat smoke is more earthy, mineral and peppery than ashy or super fish like.
Overall:
This is really great, especially for a younger core expression. Nice work, Ledaig.
