Amber Room Review

Gordon & Macphail Ledaig 1972 40%

05 October 2026

Nose

Takes a bit time to open up but the nose is full of islandic salty peat smoke, dills, eucalyptus, a bit medicinal, a bit floral and creamy towards the end; quite a beautiful nose

Body

Sweet, tropical fruits, the peat comes out in troves but does not get overwhelming or hot, a bit of tea, gets zesty towards the end; the palate is incredibly full for a 40% whisky

Finish

Short finish, a bit disappointing after the nose and palate; slightly bitter and oaky
