In addition, the grains used to make Ledaig are malted and mashed with water sourced from Mary's Well, which contributes even stronger notes of smoke and sweet brine to the whisky's flavor profile.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAfter the grains used to make the whisky are milled and mashed, they are fermented for nearly four days in washbacks made of Oregon Pine. Each wash is then twice distilled, first through one of Tobermory's copper-pot wash stills, and again through one of Tobermory's copper-pot spirit stills.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis Ledaig is bottled by A. D. Rattray, an independent family owned bottling company that has been blending and maturing single malt Scotch whiskies since 1868. Aged in bourbon hogshead barrels this 9-year-old Island single malt features bold, peaty overtones, underpinned by sweet flavors. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up your bottle today!                            \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout A. D. Rattray\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            In 1868, Andrew Dewar and William Rattray began importing French and Italian wines into Scotland. By the end of the century, their company — known as A.D. Rattray — was representing a number of distilleries in the Highlands region of Scotland, and sold malt whisky to blending houses and exporters. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOver the course of the past 150 years, A.D. Rattray acquired several smaller whisky merchants. As a result, A.D. Rattray's principal business now is bottling unusual and exclusive casks of whisky that represent the unique characteristics of Scotland's different whisky regions, and the whiskies of the Cask Collection represent the finest of these. All whiskies within the Collection are non-chill-filtered and bottled at cask strength.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=2904\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all A.
