Whisky #6: Tobermory Distillery Ledaig 10 Year Old Single Malt
Tobermory Distillery Ledaig 10 Year Old Single Malt. Isle of Mull, Scotland. ABV: 46.3%. Tasted at Bobèche, $16.
Colour: Pale gold. Like a flat glass of VB.
Nose: A little insipid, not too many strong or distinctive aromas. Inoffensive.
Palate: Salty initial tastes give way for strong smokey peat flavours, a surprise given they didn’t come through strongly when sniffing. Tastes great though!
Finish: Medium linger, stays at the front of the palette.
Comments: Nice flavours, but a tad disappointed with the nose. Kinda feels like it’s short changing you & you’re missing out on half the experience. It will be a challenge to find whiskies on a Monday in Perth – not too many venues with a decent whisky selection open. Fortunately Bobèche has a modest selection of 14 drams that will get me started on Mondays, think I might have to come back here every week!
