Description

Ledaig Sinclair Series Rioja Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a remarkable tribute to the rich heritage of the Tobermory distillery on the enchanting island of Mull. Established in 1798 by John Sinclair, who envisioned a sanctuary amidst the rugged Hebrides, this distillery has thrived despite its tumultuous history. Today, Ledaig embodies the bold, expressive spirit of its coastal home, now captured beautifully in the Sinclair Series.

This exquisite whisky is the first in the series, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship and tradition. The inspiration comes from the storied Spanish galleon that sank just off Tobermory's shores, believed to be laden with treasures. The Ledaig Rioja Finish harnesses the essence of this lost bounty through its unique maturation process. Beginning with heavily peated barley, the whisky is initially aged in ex-bourbon casks, imparting a foundational depth before being elegantly finished in hand-selected Spanish Rioja casks.

The result is a stunning single malt that awakens the senses. Its vibrant ruby-red hue hints at the enticing flavors within. On the nose, a fragrant bouquet reveals aromas of Turkish delight and rose petals, expertly balanced with candied fruits and ripe grapes, followed by rich leather and a peppery spice that intrigues. The palate is both creamy and complex, melding notes of almonds, barley, and sweet malt, enriched with black raspberries, vanilla, and cocoa. Hints of cinnamon spice and freshly cut grass add a refreshing touch.

The experience concludes with a lingering smoky finish, enriched by red fruits and a whisper of sea spray—an homage to its maritime roots. Ledaig Sinclair Series Rioja Finish is a captivating exploration of flavor and history, perfect for gourmets and whisky connoisseurs alike.
