Ledaig 16 Year Old 2009 is a bold and richly expressive peated island single malt Scotch whisky, distilled at Tobermory Distillery and bottled by Murray McDavid for the acclaimed Benchmark series. Distilled in 2009 and matured in distinctive Quinta Dos Frades wine casks, this limited release was bottled in 2026, yielding just 589 bottles at a powerful 57.5% ABV.

The Portuguese wine cask maturation adds luxurious layers of dark berries, spice, and subtle tannic richness to Ledaig’s signature earthy peat smoke and coastal maritime character. The result is a deeply complex island whisky where smoky intensity meets elegant wine-driven fruitiness, creating remarkable balance and depth. Bottled at natural cask strength without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a bold and highly individual Ledaig.
