Well needless to say, my remaining V17 didn’t not get poured after last night’s complete and utter shitshow. I’m guessing that Jefferson 18 is safe and sound as well.
But onwards to Baby Jesus Whiskey 5: Ledaig 18 year (92.6 pf). Never had this brand before. I haven’t tasted it but I can smell the peat from 2 feet away. Sipping it, it is definitely heavy on the peat. Not as aggressive as Laphroig in my opinion, but definitely in the upper tier. I definitely get some kind of herbal and menthol notes from it, and it’s got a good amount of sweetness to it. Nice mild bite to it as well. If you like heavily plated scotch, then you’d probably like this one. They aren’t typically my favorite thing, but I could hang in there for a glass or two of this one.
