A Whisky with Depth and Personality

Ledaig is appreciated for its bold island style, and this 1997 vintage brings that character together with the softer, more rounded qualities that can develop through long maturation. The higher bottling strength helps preserve the whisky’s natural intensity, while a small addition of water can open the spirit and reveal further layers in the glass.

Expect a whisky designed for attention rather than rushed drinking. Its mature profile makes it well suited to slow enjoyment, allowing the aroma and flavour to evolve as the whisky rests. Whether served neat, with a few drops of water, or alongside a carefully chosen dessert, this is a bottle that can make an ordinary evening feel more special.

Outstanding Value for Whisky Enthusiasts

Older single malts can often command premium prices, making them difficult to explore regularly. This Blackadder Statement No.46 release offers a more approachable way to experience a whisky with 24 years of maturation behind it. The value comes from the combination of age, single-cask individuality, independent bottling, and full-strength presentation.

It is also a smart choice for collectors who appreciate bottles with a clear story. The 1997 vintage, long hogshead maturation, and July 2021 bottling date give this whisky a sense of occasion without making it feel inaccessible. For those building a collection, it provides variety.
