Discovering Distilleries: A Taste of The Isle of Mull

Nestled on the stunning Isle of Mull, Tobermory Distillery is one of Scotland’s most picturesque and historic distilleries. Founded in 1798, it’s among the oldest distilleries in the country and remains a beloved landmark in the colorful, quaint town of Tobermory. With its charming waterfront setting and vibrant houses lining the harbor, visiting Tobermory feels like stepping into a postcard—yet, the real magic lies within its whisky.

Tobermory Distillery produces two distinct styles: the unpeated Tobermory range and the smoky Ledaig whiskies, named after the distillery’s original name. Tobermory whisky is a classic Highland whisky known for its fruity, creamy flavors with hints of heather and honey, a true reflection of the distillery’s coastal environment. In contrast, Ledaig expressions are robustly peated, with smoky, earthy tones that capture the essence of a windswept Scottish island.

Visitors to the distillery can enjoy tours that offer an intimate look at the Highland whisky making process, as well as tastings where they can savour the unique character of Mull in every sip.

For whisky enthusiasts and travellers alike, Tobermory Distillery is more than a destination—it’s an experience steeped in history, creativity, and the rich flavours of Scotland’s rugged landscape.
