Ledaig 10 year old Whisky
A friend brought me a mini of the Ledaig 10 year old single malt Scotch whisky from London. During 2019, at one of the whisky festivals, I tasted an older Ledaig whisky for the first time. So the gift was very timely.

Situated on the lush green hills on the South Western side of Mauritius is the Chamarel area. Hills filled with sugar cane as far as you can see, clumps of pineapples and coconut trees and colourful hibiscus dot the landscape. Spots of yellow and purple flowers transform the dense green sugar cane fields into a patchwork of colour.
Today I am trying something from a distillery I have never tried before. I am trying the Cardhu 12 year old single malt Scotch whisky. The Cardhu distillery is a Speyside distillery located in Moray. It is part of the Diageo stable and has a long history of female whisky involvement.
We were out shopping one Saturday morning when I saw the bottle of Talisker 10 year old single malt Scotch whisky and bought it on the spot. Friends have been sharing pictures of bottles from this distillery for ages. A book I on whisky food pairings listed this as one of the best drams to pair with food and I realised that did not have it in my collection.
Today I go back to Islay and a taste of something from the Kilchoman Distillery, the Kilchoman SanaigIslay single malt Scotch whisky.
Today I look at a side-by-side comparison of two releases from the Balvenie Distillery. The Balvenie Caribbean Cask vs Doublewoodsingle malt Scotch whisky. Comparing different distilleries side by side is fun, but I find that the most interesting comparisons are the ones between other releases from the same distillery.
