The Ledaig 10 is natural colour, why its not advertised as such on the bottle beats me. However each batch is generally a different colour from the last, there can be some real differences from year to year too, some dark, some considerably lighter. I prefer that to the pretense that some other distilleries use with colour additives that trick us with our eyes into thinking there is no difference from batch to batch. It' a natural product with differences in the make up of the barrels used from year to year, and a more educated drinker than years past understands this, its about time that some in the industry reverted to the simple ingrediants of barley, water, yeast and the magic properties of wood without the need for added colour trickery.
Great comment Steven J. Thanks and we agree.
One of my favorite, go-to peated whiskies, especially with the older batches. The peat is subtle, in the background, enveloping the fruity sweetness of the malt. A solid 90 point whisky. An easy choice for an every day sipper when you're in the mood for a modicum of peat.
Always in the mood Malty…bart
Hi guys, I was lucky to visit Tobermory in 2019. Half the year they make non- peated Tobermory and the half they make peated Ledaig. Nice people who work there. Beautiful town. Cheers!
Beautiful island, Mull! Lots to explore-great walking.
I understand the recipe was altered when the packaging was updated. It has been very well received in the U.K. The older versions were variable.
Thanks Scott and Andy. Great comments
Remember years ago when I was trying to get into peat I got one of these. Tasted like I sprayed half a bottle of Cloraseptic in my mouth while standing in a burning Dentist Office 🤣😅😅 Took me a long time but once I could taste things around that I knew I had arrived at the Bart Zone.Cheers guy's
very nice, thanks DPW
Ledaig 10 is good. Ledaig 18 is outstanding.
This is Islay peat. From Port Ellen, and you’re right that it’s great… try dropping into some blinds with its Islay brethren and it shows a nice richness. Add in the value and it kills it.
Curious how this would do blind side by side with Ardbeg 10 ?
You two are talking dirty to Bart
@@DonnerPassWhisky they are quite different peated whiskies both good in their own ways I think. Although, we all know that Ardbeg has a lovey peateness underscored by an amazing sweetness!
My bottle arrived today, can't wait to pop it opened and try it. Not today though.
good luck, thanks Bruno
@@ScotchTestDummies yeah… yesterday ended up being the day. 😂. This is an amazing whisky. The peat although not too strong has got a bit of everything, iodine, bonfire, ash, you name it. And it’s also got a slight “funk” that’s very interesting. This was a good buy. Cheers!
Tobermory web site stated is natural color. Not sure why they don’t put it on the bottle. Older version where more pale for sure. Cheers Dummies!
The Ledeig they are drinking is quite a bit darker than the one I had about a year ago. It was straw colored to the point of being very light.
interesting...
Does anyone have any idea what it would cost to print 3 more words on the label?
@@jackthepickledhound I read something somewhere (and it wasn't Ledaig related, just overall) about some countries stating in law that cask imparted color isn't natural color (like, it would have to come from the spirit... crazy)... Just throwing it out there hoping it's related.
@@canal-do-guga-namura I think Glengoyne and Glendronach have written then kinda thing on the label.
Seems crazy. Like Laphroaig adding color in a green bottle.
Anyone who looks to read those words can understand what they are really saying and how it relates to what they see in the bottle. Problem is that the vast majority of whisk(e)y buyers still think that darker is better.
I'm a sucker for Tobermory ever since my first Ledaig so my whole journey is a compromise with them not putting the truth on the label
This is the peated darling of the Whiskytube community
🥰
Good review chaps. I think this is a really solid 10 year old whisky. I find myself saying that a lot about 10 year old whisky these days. That's the best bang for buck age out there. There's also a suitable difference between the 10 and 18 (good value) to consider both. That's not always the case. WT
will have to watch for the 18!
This was a good gateway peated whisky for me FWIW. Cheers!
good point, this would be in that category.
I buy a few with colour...not many....Lagavulin...Clynelish...about it.
thanks jeff
Now you're talking Diageo.
Bought a bottle yesterday. Its great! It took me 25 years to really get into Peates scotch but now I really love them. I do not like the heavy iodine flavors but all other peat is great.
welcome to the peat club! thanks alberto!
You'll get there... they all do.
The darker color might be because of some casks that were recharred.
Nice
The 18 year is a great balanced whisky, I have this one just haven't cracked it yet, enjoying the 18 way too much.
sounds like a good one!
The Ledaig 10 is a good solid peated whisky, I would agree on the 88. As for the height difference I was expecting Scott to say 'look boss a plane!, a plane! at any moment....just sayin'.
ah the old Fantasy Island! thanks billyboy!
They say it's Natural Color on their website.
yes it is
It’s been a while since a quality malt has appeared on this channel.
we review what we can get!
Sad truth
The smoking section of a deli
Lol. Yuck and so true
Ledaig 10 has always been Natural Colour, I’ve thrown my box away, but if I recall it use to be a call-out on the box.
could be, thanks Clinton.
They definitely don't say anything on the box today... mine just arrived and it only says it's unchillfiltered. They do say it's natural color on their website though so I'm taking their word for it. weird it's not in the bottle.
Nice review. I definitely score this higher but peat is so subjective
True
Yours is definitely colored. It's much, much darker than mine.
Having a dram while watching the video. It's really good.
On peated, I actually prefer an 8-10yr. The older ones lose something
very nice, thanks Brent!
Tobermory and e150 together . My bottles are always darker the on the Tube.
It goes against the most important principles in life but I love the juice and overlook the missing words on the label. There is some mention on the website but that really doesn't count.
I was expecting a higher score. The bottle that I had was from 2019 and I would’ve expected that one to touch 90.
Palates and batches vary though. I’d be interested to see what you think in a month or so. 🥃
good point, we'll have to see!
Roy @Aqvavitae sent me a sample. It was excellent.
Most excellent
It does look darker than my old bottle
👍
Interesting. I've picked up a bottle yesterday in the EU and it is definitely not colour. More yellow gold, towards the colour of the glencadam 10 but a tint darker yellow.
interesting indeed, this one seems a little darker!
I prefer this to Laphroaig 10 as it is integrity bottled
It is good
They do put coloring unfortunately
Not enough peat for me.
Boom
Tobermory/Ledaig DO NOT use e150a. period. exclamation
Love it!
