Product details
Rites Of Passage Ledaig 16-Year is a remarkable expression from Epicurean Selection, part of the prestigious Rites of Passage Cask Selection Series. Distilled at Tobermory Distillery, the only operational distillery on the Hebridean island of Mull and one of the oldest in Scotland, this release showcases over 16 years of careful maturation. Originally distilled in 2008 and re-racked in a first-fill Madeira barrique in 2018, it captures the unique character of the island while highlighting the artistry of independent cask selection. Bottled at full cask strength with no added coloring and non-chill filtered, this limited edition—just 282 bottles—offers an unadulterated, powerful, and authentic experience that reflects both heritage and precision.
On the palate, Rites Of Passage Ledaig 16-Year delivers a bold yet refined profile. Rich layers of dried fruits, orchard fruits, and subtle caramel intertwine with mineral undertones from the island’s terroir. A gentle sweetness emerges alongside hints of roasted nuts and spice, balanced by a clean, lingering finish that reveals depth and complexity with every sip. Smooth yet expressive, this release pairs beautifully with hearty dishes, roasted meats, or can be savored on its own as a contemplative indulgence for those who appreciate rich, island-influenced flavors.
