This Christmas, give a whisky inspired by the vibrant spirit of the Isle of Mull. Founded in 1798, Tobermory Distillery is one of Scotland’s oldest and most picturesque, capturing the island’s creative energy and wild beauty in every bottle. Just like the brightly painted houses that frame Tobermory Bay, each whisky bursts with colour, charm, and discovery.
Two distinctive styles define the distillery’s artistry. Tobermory, the unpeated expression, is rich, fruity and refined. Ledaig, its peated counterpart, offers a contrasting character: sweet, smoky, and distinctly coastal.
Crafted in small batches using traditional methods, Tobermory whiskies are as rare as they are remarkable. Each expression tells a story of heritage and island craftsmanship. Whether sipped neat, over ice, or enjoyed in a considered serve, every dram invites the drinker on a sensory journey.
From the Sinclair Series, the perfect introduction to peated Ledaig with notes of sweet fruity smoke, or Ledaig 10 Year Old for a classic ex-bourbon Ledaig with maritime notes. For those who enjoy lighter, fruiter whiskies, Tobermory 12 Year Old perfectly encapsulates the distillery’s bright island home, while Tobermory 21 Year Old dials up the sherry for notes of jammy fruit and caramel.
Ideal for the explorers and tastemakers in your life, a bottle from Tobermory is more than just a fine whisky – it’s a celebration of authenticity, flavour and a Scottish adventure. With prices ranging from £40 to £175, each bottle offers something special for every whisky lover’s collection.
