We proudly present our new Boogieman Import bottling. This time a sherry butt from the Tobermory distillery located on the Isle of Mull.

This distillery was founded in 1798 under the name of Ledaig. The distillery is located in the town of Tobermory and after the distillery has changed ownership several times, at some point it was decided to rename the distillery into Tobermory Distillery.

A small amount of its production is made from malted barley dried over peat fires. This so-called "heavily peated whisky" is branded as Ledaig Single Malt Whisky.

Tasting notes:

Colour: Yellow gold.

Nose: Cider apples (Cidre de Normandie), dried fruit, ripe tangerine, dried glass of amontillado sherry, but also salty licorice, kelp, oysters and campfire smoke. In addition, harbour smells such as ship rope, diesel oil, soot, earthy, gunpowder, charcoal, tar, saddle leather, kippers and a salty sea breeze. Like walking around in an old fragrant harbour. That is why we have baptized this bottling as “Reeky Harbour”.

Taste: The typical Ledaig smokiness immediately shows up, but also a true maritime character. Leather, tar, cigar leaves, shag (rolling tobacco) and a light but very pleasant rubbery tone. The subtle wood aromas and fruit notes like dried fruit bring structure and balance to this single malt.

Finish: The taste of roasted chestnuts and smoked raisins lingers for a long time.
