Tobermory Distillery Releases Two Scotches in U.S.
Tobermory Distillery, one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries located on the idyllic Isle of Mull, announced the release of two award-winning aged single malts: Tobermory 21 Year Old and Ledaig 18 Year Old to the United States.
With each bottle offering a unique taste of the Isle of Mull’s rich whisky-making heritage, these expressions represent a masterful balance of time, craftsmanship, and local tradition.
Both the Tobermory 21-Year-Old and Ledaig 18-Year-Old whiskies offer a journey through the unique character of the Isle of Mull, where every drop reflects the distillery’s dedication to time-honored traditions and innovative maturation processes. Half of the year Tobermory Distillery crafts unpeated Tobermory and the other half they produce peated Ledaig whisky in its Hebridean distillery. These releases represent a milestone for Tobermory Distillery, showcasing its expertise in both unpeated and peated single malts.

The newest member of the distillery’s unpeated Tobermory whisky core range, this 21-year-old whisky has been finished in Oloroso sherry cask. This expression was produced in small batches and distilled into whisky refill cask in 1999, before being transferred into Oloroso sherry casks in 2015. Like all of Tobermory’s whiskies, this is a non-chill filtered and natural color, with an ABV of 46.3%, mirroring Tobermory’s other core range expressions. Available in limited quantities in the U.S., Tobermory 21 is available at select retailers nationwide and on ReserveBar.com.

Produced at Tobermory’s Hebridean Distillery for 6 months of the year, Ledaig, pronounced ‘Letch-ick’, is a smoky single malt. This award-winning whisky was first matured for 16 years in ex-bourbon casks before being finished for two years in the finest sherry casks. This non-chill filtered and natural color whisky was bottled at 46.3% ABV and is part of the Ledaig (peated whisky) core range. Awarded The Whisky Exchange ‘Whisky of the Year’ for 2023, Ledaig 18 is a smoky island whisky that balances sweet and floral aromas with the richness and warmth of sea salt and smoke.
