A Colourful Whisky This expression is inspired by the Spanish galleon which sank off the harbour of Tobermory more than 400 years ago. Believed to have been laden with jewels, we have finished our signature expression in hand-selected Rioja casks in honour of the Spanish treasure buried deep off our shoreline. Made with heavily peated barley before being matured in ex-bourbon casks, and finished in hand-selected Spanish Rioja casks, this single malt contains powerful flavours of smoke, spice, grape and sweet berries, with a lingering saltiness. Its the very definition of our distillerys expressive nature.
A Colourful Past
In 1797 John Sinclair, an innovative kelp merchant, applied for a lease of land known as Ledaig pronounced letch-ick – which means safe haven. After Sinclairs first application was rejected, he persevered, remained true to his original vision and, a year later, the distillery was established.
Despite a colourful history marked by closures, financial troubles and even a change of name, today Tobermory is a thriving, expressive and unique distillery, true to its idyllic location on the Hebridean island of Mull. The world has changed unimaginably since we produced our first single malt, but we havent. At Tobermory, we still maintain the commitment and creativity of Sinclair and approach our distilling with artistic expression.
