The distillery, the only one on the Isle of Mull, is located in the northern part of the island on Tobermory Bay. From Oban on the mainland it is about a 40-minute ferry ride to Mull. Tobermory comes from the Gaelic and means \"the Mary or Maria spring\". The Tobermory distillery was founded in 1798 under the name Ledaig. In 1972 the Ledaig Distillery Tobermory Ltd. was founded. The name was then changed from Ledaig to Tobermory and after many closures the distillery was reopened in 1993. At the Tobermory distillery there are two wash stills and two spirit stills in the stillhouse. One pair of stills is used for Tobermory production and since 1996 Ledaig malt has been distilled again, the other two stills are for the production of Ledaig single malt. Ledaig malt is made from a more peated malt. Since Tobermory sold the warehouse, which has now been converted into apartments, the new spirit is stored at Deanston on the mainland. Refill, sherry and bourbon casks are used. The water comes from a lake in the mountains. The character of Tobermory malt is slightly peated and firm, the peat flavour does not come from the malt but from the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e57.2% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ledaig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52791379558738,"sku":"G\u0026MLED30GMCC1993","price":645.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/Ledaig30YearOld1993Gordon_amp_MacphailConnoisseursChoiceSingleRefillSherryBut_709IslandSingleMaltScotchWhisky_2024_70cl.jpg?v=1771958023","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/ledaig-30-year-old-1993-gordon-macphail-connoisseurs-choice-single-refill-sherry-but-709-island-single-malt-scotch-whisky-2024-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
