Leapfrog 2011
Benchmark Islay Exclusive Release 2026
Our legendary Leapfrog spawned from the fabled tale of ‘McDavid vs McGoliath’ over 25 years ago. Murray McDavid has never shied away from making waves in the Scotch whisky industry. This high-octane, peaty malt from the famed Islay distillery pops to the surface once again!
“Matured for fourteen years in an ex-bourbon barrel, the phenols of this ferocious amphibian have been perfectly preserved. The Islay heavyweight leaps onto the tongue, exploding with familiar flamboyance, while the grace of American oak adds elegance to fully form this mythical Leapfrog – it’s… Clachan a Losgann!”
Nose: sweet pear, salted butter, subtle iodine
