Ledaig Hebridean Moon is a bold, high-strength peated single malt from Tobermory Distillery on the Isle of Mull. Bottled at a formidable 58.8% ABV and matured in ex-bourbon casks, this 10-year-old whisky delivers waves of coastal smoke, salted liquorice, citrus zest, and savoury BBQ notes. Raw, powerful, and unmistakably Hebridean, it’s a dram that embraces peat and maritime character without compromise.

Which one truly takes wing? Our full comparison breaks it down.
Glen Scotia’s latest Icons of Campbeltown release, “The Wulver”, brings big sweetness, bold tannins and layers of dried fruit in a muscular yet approachable 12-year-old single malt.
