This is an independent bottling of peated distillate produced at Tobermory. It was bottled by Gordon & MacPhail and selected for the Napa retailer, Bounty Hunter. It is bottled at cask strength with no filtering or coloring.
This was a really unique dram, and very off profile for Ledaig. The monster fruit character and accompanying sweetness in the palate was really interesting, but I don't feel compelled to buy a bunch more.

House Review
Nose:
Syrupy Dole fruit syrup, pears, plastic, waxed fruits. Oddly Clylelish like. Toffee. Super buttery. I expected a big earthy mineral hit and theres hardly any of that here. Waffles. Bread-y buttery sweetness.
Taste:
Really sweet. Very prominent toffee, caramel, vanilla. Sweet, with some salty minerality. Light ash and smoke, but its faint. Rich apple pie notes: maple, apples, pastry.
Finish:
Short, ashy, some plastic notes here. More smoky than sweet. Light earthiness.
Overall:
This was a really unique dram, and very off profile for Ledaig. The monster fruit character and accompanying sweetness in the palate was really interesting, but I don't feel compelled to buy a bunch more.
