This famous,
very small old distillery, the only one on the
island of Mull reopened in 1990 after a
decade's 'silence'. It has continued to market
two products - a malt and a blend. The former,
identified as Tobermory the Malt Scotch Whisky
is presented in a bottle with an enamelled
label. It is a vatted malt containing some
Tobermory whiskies of up to 20-years old and
proportions of newly-mature spirit from
elsewhere. The latter has a conventional label
and is described as Tobermory blended Scotch
Whisky. Single malts from this distillery have
been bottled by the independents under the
site's older name, Ledaig.
Tobermory is
the main village on Mull and the home of the
distillery. It is a dramatic location at the
foot of a steep hill with the distillery
signalling the beginning of the village, which
spreads round a broad bay.
The
distillery was founded in 1798 and the present
buildings were erected during its first period
of operation which continued until 1826. The
distillery was 'silent' for long periods in
the mid 1800s and mid 1900s and was twice
revived during the 1970s. Now it has been
revived again. |
