This single cask bottling of a 12-year-old Ledaig single malt was produced by the independent bottler The Caskhound (Tilo Schnabel) in the Animals of Alba series as a Part 4 Otter Edition. The whisky was distilled in 2009, matured in a refill bourbon hogshead and finished for 366 days in a first-fill ex-Pedro Ximenenz sherry hogshead before being bottled at cask strength in 2021 with 351 individually numbered bottles.
The Tobermory Distillery in the town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull was founded in 1798, but was already closed for a long time in the 19th century, including from 1930 to 1972. The distillery was reopened and expanded in 1972 under the name Ledaig, but had to close again in 1975. In 1993, Burn Stewart Distillers Ltd. took over and since then the distillery has been in continuous production again.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
