About Tobermory

At the head of the bay in Tobermory, the brightly painted harbour town at Mull's northern tip, the island's only distillery was founded as Ledaig in 1798 by John Sinclair. It has closed and reopened more often than most, and now makes two spirits: unpeated Tobermory, fresh and coastal, and a heavily peated sibling that keeps the old name, Ledaig. Distell's, now Heineken's.
