Ledaig 2009/2026 - 16 y.o. - Quinta Dos Frades Wine Cask Finish - Murray McDavid
Special features: The Ledaig 2009/2026 is a 16-year-old whisky from Scotland, specifically from the Islands region. After an initial maturation phase, the whisky received its finish in red wine barrels from the Quinta dos Frades winery in the Portuguese Douro Valley. With an alcohol content of 57.5%, this whisky is bottled at Cask Strength and comes in an attractive gift packaging. The strong smokiness of the whisky complements the profile and gives it a distinctive character.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: The nose reveals delicate violets and the bittersweetness of dried cranberries, complemented by smoky nuances of meat and black pepper.
- Palate: On the palate, intense dark chocolate and ripe berries dominate, supported by a structuring oak spice and maritime character.
- Finish: The long-lasting finish is characterized by a pronounced tannin structure and noble tobacco notes, while the malty sweetness lingers long after the sip.
Distillery/Bottler: Murray McDavid was founded in 1996 by Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin, and Gordon Wright and is based in the decommissioned Coleburn Distillery in Speyside. The company is known for using interesting casks for maturation, particularly fine wine casks. In 2000, Murray McDavid took over the decommissioned Bruichladdich Distillery and resumed production. Although Bruichladdich was acquired by Rémy Cointreau in 2012, Murray McDavid remained independent and focuses on using a variety of cask types to refine their whiskies.
