Ledaig 15 Years Old 1972
1988 The MacNab
Ledaig 15 Years Old 1972
1972 was a spectacular year for Tobermory (Ledaig) and the Macnab was even awarded 90 points from Whiskyfun.com
This particular bottle of MacNab was bottled from a cask owned by one of our very own customer's father at Ledaig. Due to an incident at the distillery, Twenty Dozen MacNab products were destroyed and never to see the light of day, making this bottle very hard to find. The customer has very kindly given us documents providing authenticity of the bottle and I have to say they are a very interesting read.
Stains to label(s)
Located on the Isle of Mull, the Tobermory distillery was founded in 1798 making it one of Scotland’s oldest. It has endured a turbulent existence since with periods of closure that roughly add up to 96 years in total, including a recent 2-year period from 2017 to allow some much-needed investment on the site. Somehow it has survived, often being repurposed for other uses including cheese storage and residential accommodation. Tobermory is now owned by Distell who have brought that overdue investment and enhancement to the range. There are 2 styles of distillate produced at the distillery, with the main focus being the Tobermory until recently, whereas now there is an even split planned as the heavily peated Ledaig distillate is increasingly popular and a viable alternative to Islay whiskies. With a renewed focus, and expanded core range, we’ll all be enjoying more whiskies from Mull in the coming years.
