Colour: Amber with auburn hues.
Nose: A lot of walnuts, leather, waxy notes, candied oranges and apricot jam. That’s a nice balanced and fruity nose.
Mouth: The alcohol is well integrated and the texture is a bit too liquid. The sherry markers are still present but everything is melted together, less sharp with a lot of woody notes. There are also some solvents notes and the waxy notes disappeared.
Finish: Medium. Leather, wood, white pepper mixed with other sweet spices.

This is quite good. I liked the nose particularly with those waxy notes, the rest is a bit subpar in my opinion.

Score: 85

Colour: Deep amber with auburn hues.
Nose: You can’t deny the similarities with the precedent nose but here the HP markers reveals themselves a bit more! There are some heather in the background, light wood smoke and floral honey notes. Very nice!
Mouth: The alcohol is well integrated and the dilution is not so obvious. The texture is fairly thick. A lot of walnuts, bitter cocoa, dark chocolate, cinnamon, plums, old dusty books, meaty notes and black pepper.
Finish: Bitter cocoa, chocolate and pepper with hints of candied oranges in the background.

What a nice daily dram! It’s not complex at all but it’s a nice profile, easy to drink and highly enjoyable.

Score: 87

Colour: Deep gold with darker hues.
Nose: Farmy peat and straw, here we are guys, sitting in the farm! Wet straw, lemony notes and leather too, everything is really powerful.
Mouth: The alcohol integration is good and the texture is oily. It’s round, maybe a bit too much. The candied orange notes are powerful, honey, lemon notes, leather, farmy peat. Everything is well balanced except the slightly too present sweetness.
Finish: Long. Round and powerful. Candied oranges, leather and farmy peat and that’s pretty much it!

That’s another monolithic young Ledaig, I can’t deny that those are pretty good most of the time. This one is good for sure but there are a lot of those on the market recently and I’ve tasted better ones.

Score: 87

Colour: Light gold.
Nose: I can’t find any alcohol in there. Aerial and delicate peat, iodine, brine, fresh peaches, bitter cocoa, coffee beans and wood smoke.
Mouth: The alcohol integration is perfect and the texture is oily. Honey, bitter chocolate, white pepper, ginger, acidic notes, citruses, anise star and buttery notes.
Finish: It’s long and more in line with the nose. Raw cocoa, leather, pepper, bitter chocolate and chocolate cookie notes.

What an original profile, it’s a surprise to be honest. It’s clearly not what I prefer profile-wise but it’s really good, highly quaffable and very well balanced.

Score: 88
