Tobermory is a Scotch whisky distillery located on the Isle of Mull in Scotland. It was founded in 1798. The distillery produces a range of single malt whiskies, including their signature Tobermory expression, which is a lightly peated whisky with notes of fruit and spice. Tobermory also produces a heavily peated single malt under the name Ledaig, which has a smokier flavour profile than Tobermory. Both Tobermory and Ledaig whiskies are aged in a variety of casks, including ex-bourbon and sherry casks. Tobermory was mothballed for a period of time in the 1980s and 1990s, before being reopened in 1993. During this period of closure, the distillery was used as a brewery and a candle factory. The reopening of the distillery was a major event for the Isle of Mull, as it brought jobs and tourism to the area.
