Ledaig 10 is an extraordinary and distinguished hand-crafted 10 year single malt whisky. It has the Tobermory Distillery signature smoky expression.

This amber gold whisky has been matured in a mix of sherry, American virgin oak, ex-bourbon casks and has an aroma of vanilla and toffee, candied citrus fruits, and dried fruit, all balanced with a gentle hint of clove. On the palate, experience sweet berry notes, sumptuous vanilla, rich honey, and sweet dried fruit.

The whisky is laid down in oak casks, to gently breathe the salt laden Orcadian air for a minimum of 12 years.

On the nose a creamy toffee, caramel and vanilla - offset by a distinct pepperiness. Very slight peat smoke. On the palate, fruity with pear drops and luscious apricot. Creamy vanilla yoghurt and a very gentle smattering of peat.

On the palate, this dram is a spicy bomb in the foreground, drying slowly the palate. It highlights black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then it evolves to the sweeter side, full of vanilla and raisins. It is lighter than expected, with orange sponge cake and baked apple notes. There are intense drying oak flavors, and light almond notes. The finish is long and dry, highlighting nutmeg and a fresh touch of ginger.

It's a smooth, sherry-forward, easy drinker of elegance and style. It won't overpower your palate, it's sweet and not too spicy, full bodied and rich- everything you look for in a special occasion whisky to be shared with friends and colleagues. It's a bit overpriced for my liking, but that's Macallan

Plenty of nutmeg and cloves, with a touches of raisins, cocoa powder and dates, but also plenty of charred oak. Finally some marzipan and cinnamon.

America's biggest-selling premium bourbon, the much-loved Wild Turkey 101 is a richly-flavoured concoction with a mellowness that belies its high strength.

Matured in a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, this superb 18 Year Old single malt pays tribute to Highland Park's 5 keystones of production and presents a sophisticated medley of ripe cherries dusted with bittersweet cocoa, freshly harvested honeycomb and candied orange peel. There’s a whisper of Orkney’s salty seaspray in the aromatic peat smoke.

Soft, clean and refreshing: lemon sherbet and apricots, with honeyed fruit and a touch of toffee and vanilla. Gentle and satisfying. A little weightier on the palate, with honey and malt, banana bread and subtle sweet spices. Clean and well balanced. The honeyed fruit fades softly, and the finish is whistle-clean.

A true sipping bourbon that honours the uncompromising legacy of E.H. Taylor, Jr.
