Ledaig Rioja Cask Finish

The Ledaig Rioja Cask Finish from the Sinclair Series of the Tobermory Distillery is an expressive and adventurous single malt. Initially matured in bourbon casks, it has undergone a finishing period in Rioja wine casks, adding a striking ruby hue and a unique flavour profile. The result is a complex balance of smoky peat, spicy warmth, and fruity notes of red berries, wrapped in a touch of wine-like elegance.

Tobermory Distillery

Tobermory Distillery is located on the picturesque harbour of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, on the west coast of Scotland. Founded in 1798, it is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and has a rich history with periods of closure and re-opening.

A specific feature of Tobermory Distillery is the production of two different types of whisky: the non-peated Tobermory and the heavily peated Ledaig.

Tobermory whisky is known for its fruity and floral character with notes of citrus and honey, while Ledaig whisky is characterised by its robust, smoky flavour with hints of pepper, sea salt and leather. Maturation takes place in a combination mix of bourbon and sherry casks, creating a rich and complex flavour.

The combination of an idyllic location, a long and rich history, and a diverse range of whiskies makes Tobermory Distillery a respected and beloved name in the world of Scotch whisky.
