Ledaig Sinclair Series Rioja Cask Finish is a peated single malt from the Tobermory distillery on the Isle of Mull, the first release in the distillery's Sinclair Series, bottled at 46.3% ABV.
Ledaig is the peaty single malt made at Tobermory, and its core character of robust peat smoke, coastal salinity and underlying malt sweetness is the canvas for this release. The Sinclair Series is dedicated to innovative cask finishes.
For the Rioja Cask Finish, the matured spirit spends a secondary period in carefully selected former Rioja wine barriques. These Spanish oak casks bring the red fruit and subtle spice of Rioja, layering dried cherry, plum and soft tannin into the smoky malt.
Rich and layered yet surprisingly balanced, with smoke and sweet fruit in harmony, it makes a fine gift for lovers of peated whisky.
Enjoy it neat or with a drop of water.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
A single malt Scotch whisky is made from 100% malted barley at a single distillery in Scotland and aged at least three years in oak casks.
Peated malt is barley dried over peat smoke, which gives the whisky its smoky, earthy character.
Rioja is Spain's best-known red wine region, famous for wines made mainly from Tempranillo.
