The Ledaig 1997 BI Reeky Harbour Butt is a unique single malt whisky that is sure to captivate any whisky connoisseur. Distilled in 1997 at the historic Tobermory Distillery—originally founded in 1798 under the name Ledaig and located on the picturesque Isle of Mull—this bottling is a true gem. It has been carefully aged for 22 years before being bottled in 2020 by Boogieman Import, with only 74 bottles available, making it a rare find. This exceptional whisky stands out due to its use of peated malt dried over a turf fire, which imparts a distinctive smoky, campfire aroma and flavor. Its complex profile includes layers of Normandy cider, dried fruit, ripe mandarin, and amontillado sherry, as well as maritime notes of salt, kelp, oysters, and sea breeze. You can also detect ship's tar, diesel, soot, earth, gunpowder, charcoal, tar, leather, kippers, and a briny sea spray, creating a rich sensory experience. On the palate, the Ledaig 1997 BI Reeky Harbour Butt offers a full-bodied and rich taste marked by a strong peaty character and maritime influence. The flavors of leather, tar, cigar leaf, and a pleasant rubbery quality are complemented by subtle wood and fruit undertones, providing a well-rounded and balanced dram. This sherry butt release from Boogieman Import is an outstanding addition to any whisky collection. Whether you're a fan of peaty whiskies or looking for something distinct and exciting, the Ledaig 1997 BI Reeky Harbour Butt promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
