Adelphi Selection Ledaig 3 Year Old – 2026
A young, bold, and uncompromising Island Single Malt from Ledaig—the heavily peated whisky brand from Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. This whisky, aged just three years, demonstrates the immense character a young Ledaig can possess. Bottled by independent bottler Adelphi at a robust 58.8% cask strength, it offers a profile defined by smoke, sea, spices, and savory flavors.
While many young whiskies can come across as somewhat rough, this Ledaig opts for a powerful and distinctive character. Heavy peat smoke combines with seaweed, smoked meat, leather, and savory notes. These are balanced by stewed apple, citrus, and a surprising sweetness.
A whisky for the aficionado of bold, peated malts: young, intense, and idiosyncratic—qualities that make it particularly compelling.
