This is an excellent value for money Ledaig, bottled at a very respectable ABV of 65,5% but does not taste overwhelming at all

Nose

Very peaty, salty, seasmoke, gets meatier & slightly hot overtime, hints of ash & coal

Body

The youthfulness kicks in as it gets spicy & quite hot, definitely very smoky & slightly sweet

Finish

The finish is slightly dry & slightly bitter, definitely weaker than the nose & body

Whiskyfun — Ledaig 2005/2025

Retrieved 05 October 2026

Whiskyfun finds a fresh, coastal nose when approached carefully, but warns about the strength. Neat, the palate is sharply salty and lemony; water adds plastic aromas and leaves forceful pepper and tar. Chilli drives the finish. Fruit is elusive, yet the reviewer loves it.
