The Mull based distillery Ledaig (Tobermory) might not be one of the most respected distilleries. Whether or not you appreciate dry malts tends to decide if you think differently or not (I do). This very smoky bottle might make indeed have an even more profound influence on your opinion. Admittedly, I am Swiss, which might contribute to my fondness of this malt: It smells and tates like really old rancid cheese. But in a good, if not to say truly great way. If Ardbeg has some kind of smoked meat taste to it, this is the cheese version. This malt makes the most out of the foundation any Tobermory contains, a mix of flowery dryness and... maybe roasted peanuts? All of that is still there, but amplied and added to in a beautiful way. You might enjoy Tobermory malts more, or in a different way, once you've had a dram of this terrific Ledaig.
