Distillery description
Tobermory Distillery, located on the Isle of Mull, was founded in 1798 by John Sinclair. Originally named Ledaig, this is still the name under which it produces its peated whisky today. Throughout its history, the distillery has closed several times: from 1837 to 1878, 1930 to 1972, and most recently from 1982 to 1993. In 1993, Burn Stewart Distillers, now part of the Distell Group, reopened the distillery. Today, Tobermory is renowned for producing two types of whisky: Tobermory, which is unpeated, smooth, and slightly fruity, and Ledaig, which is peaty and smoky. Both whiskies are available in regular bottlings of varying ages, as well as limited editions. Bottle description
