The Isle of Mull's Only Distillery
Tobermory Distillery was founded in 1798 by John Sinclair — one of Scotland's oldest commercial distilleries, and still the only one on the Isle of Mull. The 12-year-old launched in 2019 when the distillery reopened after a two-year rebuild, replacing the old 10-year-old as the standard bottling. Its peated sibling, Ledaig, is made at the same stills.
