After watching this video, I wanted to get a bottle as I've enjoyed lesser Ledaigs in the past. Searched for it on line and the price varied from $120 to $200 here in the states. Then I spotted an online purveyer located in southern California who had 4 bottles and was asking $61 a bottle. I bought 3. They just arrived in their fancy wooden presentation boxes. Even a blind hog finds an acorn sometimes. 😉

Thanks to Ralfy: Ledaig (Tobermorry Distillery) may become the next Springbank.

I’ve finally begun to impart the knowledge I’ve gained from ralfy onto my brother and friends. I watch at least one ralfy video a day, on average. You’re both entertaining and informative. Thanks dude! ✊🏼

The Ledaig 10 has been really great lately. Lots of that “twiggy” peat, with a rich graininess and a good sweetness to round it out. I might have to check out the 18 before it becomes unavailable or too outrageously priced

[@RABSTRAINS]

I have to say Tobermory Distillery is one of if not my favorites. They are small and their attention to crafting outstanding Scotch Whiskey is commendable! I hope they keep what they are doing and not change! Ledaig 10 year is outstanding and I May have to treat myself to an 18 year or 19 Year Ledaig! RALFY, I received your Book today from Amazon, looking forward to reading it! Peace from America in the state of Ohio!👍🥃✌️

A personal favourite of mine. Happy to see you revisit this one! 🥃

[@holmas7]

This is one of my all time favourites. I absolutely love it

A recent bottle of the 10 y/o didn't last very long here, being just so drinkable it was gone in just over a month.

[@WhiskyLoversSociety]

Looks amazing. Definitely on my bucket list to review. Cheers.

I think I took a small baby step in my little journey recently, but it was a bit backward. Was eating a banana the other day, it was pretty ripe (not rotten), and when I peeled it and went to take a bite, and I picked up a quick scent of the bourbon I had been drinking the day or two before. Went to the bottle, read the back. And there it was, said there was a hint of banana. So apparently, somehow, I didn't pick up banana when I was drinking the bourbon, but I picked up some component of my bourbon when I was eating the banana. Weird.

Bought a bottle. But I drink more 12 to 16 years old. Got 18, 21, 33 years old whiskies, but they remain in the stash.

[@ronanmcconnellable]

Bought a Leading 10 a couple of months ago on your recommendation Ralfy. Can't wait to open it!

[@johnw1597]

I'm nearly finished with my first bottle of this one. Needless to say I'll be replacing said bottle! Cheers Ralfy!

[@shawnbaxter1001]

Should have bought all the 10 yr old that was on the shelf last Christmas...it was great (as you also reviewed) and love to see this show up here in Montana!

[@meowmewmeow315]

I had the pleasure of participating in a tasting at the Tobermory Distillery in early May (unfortunately they weren't doing tours yet). I got to try the Tobermory 10, Tobermory 12 Cask Strength, Tobermory 17 year with a Madeira finish, Ledaig 10, and Ledaig 18. All great whiskies! Our guide said none of their whiskies are chill filtered or contain artificial coloring, but I agree it would much more useful to have it on the bottle.

[@willemkilian9563]

Thanks Ralfy. This was an interesting series and I'm glad it could close off positively with a quality malt moment. PS I like the Mackenzie box you have next to you and the bottle in the background, wink wink 😉
