This bottling of a 9-year-old Ledaig single malt was produced by the independent bottler Ian Macleod in the Chieftains series. The whisky was distilled in 2007, finished in two ex-Pomerol wine casks and bottled in 567 bottles in 2017.
The Tobermory Distillery in the town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull was founded in 1798, but was already closed for a long time in the 19th century, including from 1930 to 1972. The distillery was reopened and expanded in 1972 under the name Ledaig, but had to close again in 1975. In 1993, Burn Stewart Distillers Ltd. took over and since then the distillery has been in continuous production again.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
