The Highland Park 12 has been receiving high marks for about as long as there have been people to drink it. Moreover, this whisky hits that nice balance of good taste, regular availability and relative affordability. They are also a 21st century distillery, with a website full of short videos on their products, history, and the joy of malted exploration.
The only peated whisky on the Isle of Mull, the Ledaig 10 was a Gold Medal winner at the 2008 International Wine and Spirits Competition. Does it have what it takes to compete with it’s island brethren like the Tobermory 10 Year?
This whisky comes from the only distillery on the Isle of Mull, where everything in the distilling process continues to be done by hand. Older siblings include the Tobermory 15 year and Ledaig, making a fine family. Tradition you can taste.
