Ledaig Rioja Cask
The first release in thenew Sinclair Series from the Tobermory Distillery.
Non aged statement Ledaig Rioja Finish is ruby red in colour and perfectly balances peat smoke with sweet, fruity Rioja. Like all Tobermoray's single malts, this is non-chill filtered and natural colour.
Made with heavily peated barley before being matured in ex-bourbon casks, and finished in hand-selected Spanish Rioja casks, this single malt contains powerful flavours of smoke, spice, grape and sweet berries, with a lingering saltiness.
The colour is vibrant and sings of rich, red Rioja, giving it a beautiful vibrant hue.
Nose
Notes of Turkish delight and rose petals balanced with candied fruits and grapes followed by rich leather and a beautiful peppery spice. A hint of chocolate comes through at the back.
Palate
Creamy mouthfeel packed full of almonds, barley and sweet malt with notes of peppery Ledaig, which give way to black raspberries, sweet vanilla and cocoa interspersed with cinnamon spice and hints of freshly cut grass.
Finish
Lingering smoky finish with red fruit and sea spray.
