Product Information

Tobermory, the capital of Mull, lies towards the northern end of the island. The bay is one of the safest anchorages in the Hebrides, indeed the original name for the area was Ledaig (pronounced Led-chig) from the Gaelic, meaning 'safe haven'.

As well as Tobermory, the distillery also makes Ledaig single malt. The main difference between the two is that Tobermory is lightly peated and Ledaig is quite heavily peated.

The water source for the distillery is a privately owned Loch close by the Mishnish Lochs, high in hills behind the town. The water from the Loch is richly aromatic with peaty phenols that lend impart a subtle flavour to the whisky. Due to the water's character the barley malt used remains unpeated.

The ageing process now takes place at Tobermory's sister distillery Deanston, near Doune, for a minimum of ten years. This change of location induces further complexities in the final blending.

Ledaig Sinclair

This is the first release in Tobermory distilleries new Sinclair Series. This is a non aged statement version of Ledaig with a Rioja Finish, ruby red in colour and a perfect balance of peat smoke with sweet, fruity Rioja. Like all single malts from Tobermory, this is non-chill filtered and natural colour.

Tasting Notes
