This single cask bottling of a 9-year-old Ledaig single malt by independent bottler Sansibar Whisky was produced especially for Spirits Shop Selection Taiwan. The whisky was distilled in 2010, matured in an ex-sherry butt and bottled at cask strength in 637 bottles in 2019.
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.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
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.
