Ledaig Castaway

Produced at Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull, one of Scotland's oldest distilleries established in 1798, Ledaig is the distillery's peated single malt expression, shaped by the rugged maritime climate and wild Hebridean character of Mull's coastline. As the island's only whisky distillery, Tobermory crafts its spirits under the direction of Master Blender Julieann Fernandez, whose award-winning portfolio spans both the unpeated Tobermory range and the bold, smoky Ledaig expressions.

Castaway is a limited edition of just 6,428 bottles worldwide, matured in a rare marriage of Caribbean rum casks and Mexican tequila casks, a first of its kind for the brand. Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural colour and cask strength, the dual-cask influence layers exotic fruit and agave depth onto Ledaig's signature island peat smoke, producing a whisky of vivid contrast and considerable complexity. A portion of proceeds supports the Mull and Iona Community Trust, adding further purpose to an already compelling release.

Tasting Note by Ledaig:
Nose: Coastal peat smoke with caramelised banana, lime zest and vanilla. Green apple, white pepper and a hint of sea spray.
Palate: Bold smoky spice leads, balanced by grilled pineapple, brine and herbal agave. Black pepper, charred citrus and rich toffee develop through the mid-palate.
Finish: Long and warming with smouldering peat embers, demerara sweetness, chilli heat and a final twist of lime.
