Ledaig 18 Anni Affumicato: The Caskhound Legends at the Bar #3

The Caskhound Continues “Legends at the Bar” with a Smoky 18-Year-Old Ledaig

The Caskhound returns with the third installment in its “Legends at the Bar” series, presenting an 18-year-old Ledaig, the peaty expression of the Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull. This release, Tobermory 18 Years Old 2008 Legends At The Bar #3 The Bodach The Caskhound , is dedicated to the Bodach, a mysterious figure from Highland folklore, embodying rugged landscapes and timeless tales. As an unadulterated Highland single malt matured for nearly two decades, it offers whisky enthusiasts and collectors a profound taste of authentic Mull smoke and maritime character.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

This Ledaig matured in a classic ex-bourbon hogshead for 18 years, allowing the cask to quietly support the spirit. The result is a whisky steeped in peat smoke, salty sea air, and mineral undertones, balanced by waxy honey sweetness and hints of caramel. The high cask strength of 50.1% ABV showcases the whisky’s raw, smoky core while preserving its nuanced maritime freshness.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Salty sea air, warm beeswax, mineral smoke, lemon zest, green apple, honeydew melon, and medicinal iodine with hints of vanilla, roasted malt, and herbal honey.

• Palate: Oily peat, chimney smoke, citrus zest, white pepper, combined with waxy honey, vanilla, and a touch of creamy caramel before returning to earthy mineral notes like wet rock and brine.

• Finish: Long and dry with lingering smoke, herbs, ash, candied ginger, bitter chocolate, fine oak spice, and a final trace of salty sea air and honey sweetness.
