Crafted at the historic Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull, Ledaig Sinclair Series Rioja Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a bold and smoky expression that combines classic Hebridean character with an innovative cask finish. Distilled from heavily peated malted barley and matured initially in ex-bourbon casks, it is then finished in hand-selected Spanish Rioja wine casks. Bottled at 46.3% ABV and left non-chill-filtered, it offers rich color, full texture, and a vibrant balance of smoke and fruit.
The Rioja cask influence brings layers of ripe berries, dark fruit, and subtle spice to Ledaig’s naturally maritime and peaty profile. This marriage of smoke and fruit creates a whisky that is both robust and approachable, showcasing the distillery’s commitment to tradition and creativity.
