Ledaig 10 review #70 with The Whiskey Novice 

This is a good one, my fav .

Love Ledaig 10. Its my fav whisky I have tried so far. Already cracked through over half my bottle. Very moreish

Tried this for the first time recently and immediately ordered 2 bottles on amazon... just gorgeous. Best whisky I've tried. I prefer this to Springbank 10, but then again maybe I'm just a novice. This seems so dynamic

Everyone likes this one. It should be more popular than it is.

January 5, 2021 - Happy New Year. I'll be reviewing this soon so I am comparing notes with other Whisky Tubers, as I normally. do. I find more youth in the Ardbeg 5. Ledaig 10 seems to me to be a cross between Ardbeg 10 and Laphroaig 10.

Thanks very much Jim for this video. I agree completely on your assessment of the Ledaig 10 as it was the first peated whisky I truly liked...so much so that I immediately bought a 2nd bottle right after trying it. My palette has now grown more accepting of peat and there are others I enjoy as well, but the Ledaig is still near the top for me. Really appreciate you still managing to create these reviews with your busy schedule! Take care, Drew

Its on flash sale just now gona treat myself to a bottle at the weekend.

Looking forward to getting properly into the sample you sent me. Great review once again. Cheers Jim.

Has been some time since I've had my last Ledaig. Then it didn't appeal hugely to me. Thanks for this decent review, Jim. Based on youd review I think I'll give it another go. Slàinte mhath!

just polished off the heel of a bottle of this in the past week. love the notes you gave for this one - shotgun cordite and old brass -fantastic!. ledaig sits in the holy trinity of great non-islay peaters along with talisker and longrow. could be a dark horse for the best 10 on the market imo, cheaper than ardbeg and port charlotte also!.

Funny how your tasting notes differ from mine, yet I also sing its praises. Love the Ledaig. Comparing it to standard Islay bottlings it beats the Ardbeg 10, the Laphroaig 10 neck in neck with Caol Ila 12... the Lagavulin 16 beats it but then it’s the Lagavulin 16 so perhaps unfair comparison. Speaking of 10 year olds, I recommend the Bladnoch 10, I was somewhat awestruck

Peat sleeper!. absolutely. For changes down the bottle I always say that about the Craigellechie 13. The Ledaig 10 has all those flavors in the finish. It's kinda crazy

Another great review, Jim. I could tell you like this one! I am about to kill a bottle of this myself and I think I've enjoyed it more as I went through the bottle. Excellent peated whisky, but not for folks who don't like the sulfur and rubber. For me this is a favorite because it is so bold and complex as you described so well.

My first introduction to Ledaig was during my 'whisky novice' first year and I plunged for their Sinclair Series Rioja Cask Finish NAS.....wow, that was impressive Jim. I've gone down other peated whisky routes with Bowmore 12 & 15, Smokehead Islay and latterly Laphroaig 10, and the Ledaig holds its own in the peat stakes and to this day is the best quality NAS I've tasted. It helps that it's 46.3% vol, no colour and none chill filtered which is the integrity holy grail and I expect that the Lediag 10 is no different. Excellent and passionate review Jim 😁🥃!

Great review! Ledaig 10 has a special place in my heart😀 I love it as much as I do love Ardbeg 10. My bottle of Ledaig 10 still has some 3-4 drams left and yes, I have a Wee Beastie scheduled to follow😀 Cheers and Merry Christmas!

I find myself comparing everything else to the Ledaig 10... which is my standout favorite.

Now this whisky I find the heaviest and the peatiest. Far more than even the Octomores. I find Octomore to be very beef BBQ. I find this to be the inside of the kiln.

A top whiskey. Lovely balance.

Great review Jim I have the Wee beastie and its a grower so the Ledaig is def going on the list. Hope this new lock down doesn't effect you to hard stay safe fella.

Hi Jim. Yes the ledaig 10 is rather tasty isn’t it and also at a good price 👍. Haven’t had this for a while though plenty more peated malts to discover. A throughly good review, cheers Jim. Suppose the next review will be out after Xmas, so have a lovely Xmas Jim and look after yourself.

Was given my first bottle, for Christmas- earlier this month- & I immediately/instantly became a fan! Last week I unexpectedly, ended up with a dram on my shelf for 60 hours (2.5 days)... those last few drops were a REAL jaw dropper/eye opener! 🥃😍🥃

I enjoy everything that comes from Tobermory Distillery, we don't get their gin here in Alberta, but I'd try it if I could get it. Ledaig was the first peated whisky I tried that wasn't from Isaly . It instantly became a favourite here. Cheers Jim

This was the first very peaty Whisky I got after trying some lightly peated ones. It took a year and a half for me to break through peat to appreciate it so at that time this was just burning dentist office. Knew I had broken through when I could taste the mild flavors hiding behind the peat. Glad I stuck with it as a whole new category of Whisky was available to experience. Cheers Jim

Happy Chrimbo, Jimbo! :)

Still a bit under the radar/underrated perhaps, but more and more people are noticing Ledaig and Tobermory. Very decent whisky and very good vfm in my book

Great review. Have you tried ledaig rioja?
