Ledaig 10 Year Scotch from the Isle of Mull 

The Ledaig 10 is natural colour, why its not advertised as such on the bottle beats me. However each batch is generally a different colour from the last, there can be some real differences from year to year too, some dark, some considerably lighter. I prefer that to the pretense that some other distilleries use with colour additives that trick us with our eyes into thinking there is no difference from batch to batch. It' a natural product with differences in the make up of the barrels used from year to year, and a more educated drinker than years past understands this, its about time that some in the industry reverted to the simple ingrediants of barley, water, yeast and the magic properties of wood without the need for added colour trickery.

One of my favorite, go-to peated whiskies, especially with the older batches. The peat is subtle, in the background, enveloping the fruity sweetness of the malt. A solid 90 point whisky. An easy choice for an every day sipper when you're in the mood for a modicum of peat.

Hi guys, I was lucky to visit Tobermory in 2019. Half the year they make non- peated Tobermory and the half they make peated Ledaig. Nice people who work there. Beautiful town. Cheers!

Remember years ago when I was trying to get into peat I got one of these. Tasted like I sprayed half a bottle of Cloraseptic in my mouth while standing in a burning Dentist Office 🤣😅😅 Took me a long time but once I could taste things around that I knew I had arrived at the Bart Zone.Cheers guy's

This is Islay peat. From Port Ellen, and you’re right that it’s great… try dropping into some blinds with its Islay brethren and it shows a nice richness. Add in the value and it kills it.

Ledaig 10 is good. Ledaig 18 is outstanding.

Tobermory web site stated is natural color. Not sure why they don’t put it on the bottle. Older version where more pale for sure. Cheers Dummies!

Good review chaps. I think this is a really solid 10 year old whisky. I find myself saying that a lot about 10 year old whisky these days. That's the best bang for buck age out there. There's also a suitable difference between the 10 and 18 (good value) to consider both. That's not always the case. WT

This is the peated darling of the Whiskytube community

This was a good gateway peated whisky for me FWIW. Cheers!

My bottle arrived today, can't wait to pop it opened and try it. Not today though.

The 18 year is a great balanced whisky, I have this one just haven't cracked it yet, enjoying the 18 way too much.

Bought a bottle yesterday. Its great! It took me 25 years to really get into Peates scotch but now I really love them. I do not like the heavy iodine flavors but all other peat is great.

The darker color might be because of some casks that were recharred.

I buy a few with colour...not many....Lagavulin...Clynelish...about it.

Nice review. I definitely score this higher but peat is so subjective

I was expecting a higher score. The bottle that I had was from 2019 and I would’ve expected that one to touch 90. Palates and batches vary though. I’d be interested to see what you think in a month or so. 🥃

The Ledaig 10 is a good solid peated whisky, I would agree on the 88. As for the height difference I was expecting Scott to say 'look boss a plane!, a plane! at any moment....just sayin'.

Yours is definitely colored. It's much, much darker than mine. Having a dram while watching the video. It's really good. On peated, I actually prefer an 8-10yr. The older ones lose something

They say it's Natural Color on their website.

Ledaig 10 has always been Natural Colour, I’ve thrown my box away, but if I recall it use to be a call-out on the box.

Roy @Aqvavitae sent me a sample. It was excellent.

It’s been a while since a quality malt has appeared on this channel.

It does look darker than my old bottle

They do put coloring unfortunately

Interesting. I've picked up a bottle yesterday in the EU and it is definitely not colour. More yellow gold, towards the colour of the glencadam 10 but a tint darker yellow.

Not enough peat for me.

I prefer this to Laphroaig 10 as it is integrity bottled

Tobermory/Ledaig DO NOT use e150a. period. exclamation
