ABV: 41.0%

Cask Type: Refill Butts and Hogsheads

Bottle Size: 700ml

A rare marriage of 18 year old peated and unpeated single malts from Tobermory Distillery.

Fresh orchard fruit intertwined with gentle coastal peat. Rustic, elegant, and beautifully balanced.

Founded in 1798 in the harbor town of Tobermory, the distillery is one of Scotland’s oldest, uniquely producing both unpeated Tobermory and heavily peated Ledaig spirit.

To see them combined at 18 years old in an independent bottling? That’s uncommon.

Tasting Notes: This release is a wonderfully rare combination of 18 year old Ledaig and Tobermory single malts. Take a sip and find yourself standing outside a cottage in the Scottish countryside surrounded by mountains. Smoke billowing from the chimney, you take a bite of an apple and notice the sunlight dancing in a puddle in front of you. Each breath carries a blend of fresh apple and smoky tones, harmoniously merging with the rustic outdoors.

Natural color, non-chill filtered.

About Tobermory Distillery

Ledaig is the name for prized peated malt produced at the Tobermory Distillery. The Tobermory Distillery, situated in the charming waterfront town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, offers a glimpse into centuries of Scottish whisky-making tradition. Established in 1798, it stands as one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries. Uniquely, Tobermory produces both unpeated malt under its own name and peated malt known as Ledaig, both highly regarded in the whisky community. The process of switching between these styles requires meticulous two-week cleaning of all equipment.

The distillery’s history is marked by transitions, beginning as a brewery and experiencing periods of inactivity, most notably from 1930 to 1972. Today, Tobermory is part of the Distill Ventures portfolio, alongside Bunnahabhain and Deanston. This ownership has brought renewed focus to the distillery, emphasizing cask quality and finishes.

Located near the main port, Tobermory Distillery is an integral part of the town, within walking distance of local landmarks like the Mishnish Pub and the Western Isles Hotel. The Gearr Abhainn, its water source, flows directly past the distillery to the sea. Due to the limited space, most of Tobermory’s whisky maturation occurs at its sister distillery, Deanston, on mainland Scotland, as the nearby warehouses have been converted into residential flats.
