    Hard to decide between these 2. I really enjoy wine influence on peated whiskies so I would probably give the Rioja a nod, but the 10 is better matured. Tough call. Glad I have 2 bottles of the 18 which owns both of these!!!!

      Yeah I too enjoy the red wine or fortified wine + peat combo. I actually went into this one thinking the Sinclair Series would likely have the edge, but once I put them side-by-side, the quality of the Ledaig 10 is undeniable. This is why I love doing these versus videos, some of my favourite to do!

    Well, what can I say, I'll agree with you, Ledaig 10 got a little bit more of everything, but the other one is not far behind.
    Both are really great value whisky 🌞

    • @McIntyresMalts
      @McIntyresMalts  10 місяців тому +2

      Yes! Probably the main take away is that these are BOTH great value for money whiskies 🥃

    I’ve enjoyed the 10 before but it sounds like I really need to try the Sinclair Series. Like you, I love those contrasting whiskies where there’s a balance between two distinct notes.

    Got the Sinclair, as wine finishes in Single malts are usually amazing. Example: bunnahabhain eirigh na greine which is exclusively matured in French red wine casks.

    Brilliant video with two delicious whiskies! If you grave something sweeter go with the Rioja, something fresher the 10. Ledaig has all the answers :)

    Very good challenge. I have both and love them both. According to my knowledge the malt is peated to a level of 35 ppm phenols.

    As I’m a cherry bomb guy!!
    If that Ledaig 10 is very fine smokiness like Yoichi Nikka I’m happy to try a bottle then
    Anything more than that for me is a NO NO!!! 😁

    I like both but the 10Y is clearly superior. What makes the Rioja great is the price. Most cask finish scotches are very expensive.
