The peated side of the Isle of Mull, given time to mature. Ledaig is the smoky spirit made at Tobermory distillery, and this 18-year-old is one of its most complex expressions.

It spends around 16 years in ex-bourbon casks before a two-year finish in Oloroso sherry casks. Bottled at 46.3%, it balances coastal peat smoke with deeper notes of roasted fruit and nuts from the sherry wood.

Bold, maritime and full of layers, it's a whisky that changes every time you go back to the glass.

Who it's for: Peat lovers ready for something older and more complex, and fans of coastal island malts.

How to enjoy it: Neat, with a few drops of water once it has opened up.
