Perched on the edge of the vibrant, colourful harbour of Tobermory, the Isle of Mull’s only distillery is a true outlier in the world of Scotch. Unlike many distilleries that stick to a single signature style, the team here masterfully produces three distinct spirits that reflect the wild and varied character of the Hebrides.
First, there is the Tobermory malt itself - unpeated, bright, and surprisingly zesty. It’s a whisky that tastes of the harbour’s energy, often showing notes of fresh fruit, honey, and a subtle hint of sea air. It’s an approachable, lively dram that proves you don’t need peat to have a massive personality.
Then, for those who crave the dark and the dramatic, there is Ledaig. This is the distillery’s peated expression, and it is a heavy-hitter in the best possible way. Known for its distinctively robust smoke—think campfire embers and salted liquorice - Ledaig is a cult favourite that packs a punch to rival anything coming out of Islay.
But the creativity doesn't stop with the stills. Tobermory Gin brings a unique twist to the collection, using a splash of their malt spirit and a blend of island-inspired botanicals like elderflower and wild heather. The result is a fresh, citrusy, and slightly creamy gin that feels like a walk along the Mull coastline.
