-------------------------------
If we talk about Non-Islay Peated Whiskies, Ledaig and Ardmore are ones I really appreciate =D Especially in terms of value for money (though partly because Islay prices have risen too fast)

This bottling is a UK IB comic label release, Ledaig 19YO, featuring its signature oily peat character.
Master of Malt even described it as 'all roadworks'.

As for the label, the official explanation is that the figure, possibly Thor, is meant to challenge the notion that only Islay produces peated whisky. You can read more here if interested.

P.S. TBWC bottlings are also 500ml.
P.S. Ledaig is a peated range from Tobermory Distillery.

Master of Malt Tasting Notes for Reference

Nose:
Classic Ledaig – all roadworks, smoky bacon, peppercorn sauce, chamois leather and metallic peat, but also some aromatic lemon zest and a floral airiness, too.

Palate:
Chilli spice, black peppercorns, an earthier peatiness this time. Roast pork sausages with a smoky apple sauce, a malty element, and some rich 90% cocoa dark chocolate for good measure.

Finish:
All about the leathery peat smoke and a sweet chilli kick.

Overall:
Signature Ledaig with all the delights it brings.
