About Us

Nestled on the vibrant shores of the Isle of Mull, Tobermory Distillery has been a beacon of craftsmanship and heritage since its founding in 1798. Set against the backdrop of the island's rugged landscapes and iconic colourful harbour, our distillery is more than just a place where whisky is made - it's a part of the tapestry of Mull's rich history and culture.

For over two centuries, we have been crafting single malt whiskies that capture the sprit of the island, combining the pure waters from the Gearr Abhainn brook with traditional methods, passed down through the generations. We take great pride in blending tradition and innovation, producing small-batch whiskies which capture the unique character of Mull in every drop.

PEATED AND UNPEATED

A TALE OF TWO WHISKIES

At Tobermory Distillery, we craft not one, but two distinct styles of whisky, each reflecting the unique characteristics of our location and heritage as an island single malt. Tobermory is our signature unpeated single malt and is known for its bright, fruity notes with hints of citrus, oak, and subtle sweetness. Tobermory whisky is a reflection of the lively town we call home, evoking the fresh, vibrant energy of Mull’s natural beauty. A bolder expression of our craft, Ledaig is our peated whisky. Deeply influenced by the rugged coastline and topography of our island, Ledaig delivers a rich, smoky flavour with earthy undertones.

INSPIRED BY MULL

A UNIQUE ISLAND DISTILLERY

The Isle of Mull, with its dramatic landscapes and maritime climate, infuses our whisky with a character that’s impossible to find anywhere else. We source our water from the nearby Gearr Abhainn brook, imbuing our whiskies with a distinct mineral quality that perfectly complements both the peated and unpeated expressions we create. From the oak casks within which we age our whisky, to the peat that informs Ledaig's smoky profile, every element of our process is deeply connected to the natural world that surrounds us.

HANDCRAFTED, SMALL-BATCH

TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION

Since 1798, we have upheld the traditional art of whisky-making while embracing innovation to ensure we deliver the highest quality in every bottle. Following extensive renovations between 2017 and 2019, our distillery was modernised with both sustainability and efficiency in mind. Yet, our commitment to handcrafting authentic, small-batch whisky remains unchanged. Today, we continue to produce some of the finest single malts in Scotland, including special cask-finished editions and limited releases that epitomise the highest levels of the whisky making craft.
