Ledaig 12 Years Old Benchmark

This expression combines distillery's distinctive maritime smoke, delivering layers of earthy peat, charred oak and coastal salinity, with rich sherry influences bringing flavours of raisins, figs, treacle and spiced fruitcake, balanced by spices and subtle sweet smoke.

Bottled by Murray McDavid for their Benchmark collection, at natural cask strength, natural colour and no chill filtration. Limited to 358 bottles.

Toffee apple, cigar smoke and cedar wood

Tobermory Distillery, founded in 1798 on the colourful waterfront of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, is a small, characterful operation known for producing two very different single malts: the unpeated Tobermory and the heavily peated Ledaig. Its spirit is shaped by long fermentations, quirky stills, and the island’s cool, maritime climate, giving the unpeated whisky a waxy, citrusy, slightly briny profile, while Ledaig leans into earthy smoke, coastal salt, and deep savoury notes. Much of the maturation takes place in bourbon and sherry casks, adding layers of fruit and spice without masking the island character.
