As the only whisky distillery on the Isle of Mull, Tobermory's whiskies possess a unique set of characteristics and flavours that are not found anywhere else. If you are a whisky enthusiast or simply appreciate the art and craft of whisky production, then Tobermory is a distillery that you should definitely keep on your radar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis whisky truly embodies its origin, exuding a bright and vibrant character. Bursting with fruity and spicy notes, it finishes with a pleasant ginger kick. Truly delightful.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNose : Orchard fruit, citrus, and spice aromas with hints of chocolate and cherry.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePalate : Ginger, citrus, oak, vanilla, toffee, coffee, and chocolate flavours with a rich and creamy mouthfeel.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFinish : A long, spice-driven finish with notes of citrus, chocolate, coffee, and ginger.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Tobermory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMull's only Scotch whisky distillery produces both peated an unpeated whisky for use in the Black Bottle and Scottish Leader blends, as well as for Ledaig and Tobermory single malts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is likely that in its earliest incarnation Ledaig was a peated malt, but in more recent times both peated and unpeated whisky has been made and bottled as both Ledaig and Tobermory. Thankfully, this has now been resolved with Ledaig now only being used for the heavily-peated variant. Equal amounts of both styles are currently being made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fermentation time is relatively short, but it is the unusually shaped stills which lie at the heart of the Tobermory style. They have both boil bulbs and a strange S-shaped kink in their lyne arms, all of which increases reflux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMull’s capital may have been built by the Stevensons of Oban [see Oban], but Tobermory’s distillery has had a more chequered career than its mainland relative and with considerably more unusual owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was established, as Ledaig, in 1798 by John Sinclair but like many small sites, the business foundered and it seems to have been silent between 1837 until 1878 when, after a succession of owners, it was finally brought within the DCL estate in 1916. It continued to produce until 1930 when it fell silent for over four decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA belated member of a group of old distilleries which were recommissioned in the post-war whisky boom, it was brought back in 1972 by a somewhat unusual joint venture between a Liverpool shipping company, Sherry producer Pedro Domecq and “Panamanian interests”. This unusual arrangement only lasted for three years, although the new owners renovated the distillery and increased capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA short further period of silence ended when a property firm based in Cleckheaton, Yorkshire bought it with the intention of converting some of the buildings to holiday accommodation. Others were used as a facility for storing cheese. It closed again in 1982 for 11 years when its current owner, Burn Stewart (now part of South African giant Distell), purchased it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn January 2017 Distell announced a major refurbishment plan for the distillery, which would force its closure for two years from 31 March. However, Tobermory's visitor centre would remain open throughout the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eAbout Limited Whisky\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre an independent bottler with a lot of experience in cask trade which has led them to commence bottling their own releases for a few years.

Some are ready to bottle, while others need more time or may be re-racked into different casks for finishing. This ensures that they only bottle single malts they are proud of. On the face of it as a regular person, we see the text and think \"UNCHARTED PLAYSTATION GAME\" but when you look further into what they do.... it is a winning combination for the current whisky market and those who genuinely love to drink whisky and open bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e55% ABV\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tobermory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54524551168325,"sku":"000628","price":189.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4810596544_96ae32a1-f45c-4774-86b6-d5d2c25cf76a.jpg?v=1746553465","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/tobermory-27-year-old-1995-limited-single-bourbon-hogshead-1976-island-single-malt-scotch-whisky-2023-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
