Tobermory Distillery, located on the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, boasts a rich heritage dating back to its founding in 1798. In spring 2017, the distillery embarked on an extensive renovation project that extended well beyond initial projections, remaining closed for over two years. This prolonged closure was partly attributed to parent company Distell Group's simultaneous renovation of their Bunnahabhain Distillery on Islay. During this extended hiatus, Tobermory utilized the downtime for innovative experimentation, developing Tobermory Hebridean Gin using a small-scale experimental still. Launched in 2019, this gin uniquely combines neutral grain spirit with Tobermory's new make whisky spirit and incorporates botanicals foraged from the Isle of Mull. Historically, all whisky from the distillery was marketed under the Tobermory name until the 1930s closure. Following that period, the distillery adopted a dual-brand strategy, producing both unpeated Tobermory whisky and peated Ledaig whisky, with the latter featuring a phenol content of 38-40ppm. The renovation period saw significant equipment modernization. In 2019, the distillery replaced its 45-year-old, 5-ton cast iron mash tun with a brand-new vessel of identical capacity. The facility also operates four new wooden fermentation vats with fermentation times ranging from 48-100 hours, and two sets of copper pot stills. Two stills were replaced in August 2014, with the remaining two updated in 2019. Prior to the 2017 closure, Tobermory operated at full capacity, mashing eight batches weekly and producing 750,000 liters of new make spirit annually, with a production split of 55% Ledaig and 45% Tobermory. Post-renovation production targets for 2019 were set at 500,000 liters. The distillery's core range includes the redesigned Tobermory 12 Year Old (replacing the previous 12-year expression), Tobermory 10 Year Old, and Ledaig 18 Year Old. Recent limited releases showcase innovative cask finishes, including Tobermory 19 Year Old Marsala cask, Ledaig 13 Year Old Port cask, and Ledaig 21 Year Old Manzanilla cask. At the time of writing, the distillery has also introduced Tobermory 2007 Vintage Sherry cask and Ledaig 1997 Vintage Port cask expressions.

Blimey, this whisky's got some real character, innit? 🥃 First off, I get a right ol' blast of smoky, coastal vibes, like a deep breath of sea air. It's a bit dirty, but in a good way, you know? Reminds me of a beach on a stormy day, all rugged and wild. There's this peppery kick, too, that grabs your attention. And then, I start to pick up on some tropical fruits, like mangos and passion fruits, lurking in the background. They're not overpowering, just adding a bit of sweetness to balance things out. I also get some bready notes, like fresh straw, and a hint of liquorice. It's all a bit fascinating, really. The flavours are quite instable, shifting about, but in a good way, like it's constantly surprising me. It's immense, this whisky, with a real stellar quality to it. Not too medicinal, thank goodness, just a nice, smooth finish. All in all, a cracking good dram, if you ask me!

Blimey, that’s a proper coastal beast—smoke like a bonfire on the beach, but then these ripe mangos and passion fruits sneak in like they own the place. Bit feinty at first, almost medicinal, but then it’s all jammy oranges and tropical sunshine. Liquorice and roots lurking underneath, proper dirty and peaty. Fabtastic stuff, this. 🔥

Just had a pour of this one and honestly it's a fabtastic drop. Very smoky, like proper deep coastal smoke mixed with a bit of that old-school medicinal vibe. Feels like one of those great peaters, really stellar stuff. Getting loads of ripe tropical fruits — mangos lurking in the background, maybe some oranges too. There's a dirtier edge to it, almost feinty, with hints of gentian and something like embrocations from the medicine cabinet. Less medicinal than expected though, which is nice. On the palate it's peppery, bready notes come through, even a touch of tinned porridge? Weird but it works. Lemons, all-fruit juice quality, and this interesting straw and palm hearts thing going on. Almost breathless at times. The finish brings back the cough syrup vibe with some celeriac and mashed turnips thrown in for good measure. Smokier than the nose suggested. Proper early new-era peaters character. Honestly love these instable molecules that keep shifting around 🥃 fascinating drops all round

刚开瓶闻着,熟透的芒果和香蕉就冒出来了,但烟熏味儿更重,像海边烧着篝火 🌊。 喝下去居然有点像稀释的咳嗽糖浆,带点果酱的厚实感。但没那么药味,反而有股根茎的土气,像姜汁汽水混着芹菜汁? 尾韵长长的,烟熏变得更深,带着点野性的feinty味儿,但又不失那股热带果香。层次挺复杂的,一杯下肚感觉有点喘不上气,是好的那种!这酒有点东西 👍

倒出来就闻到一股甜滋滋的热带水果味儿,熟透的芒果和百香果混着点橙皮香,底下还藏着像麦片粥似的谷物感。 喝一口,烟熏味比想象的明显,但不是那种粗野的烟,更像是海边湿木头烧着的味道🌊。然后嘴里转一圈,咦?有点根茎类的清甜,隐约尝到大黄和甘草的影子。 余韵倒是挺长,带点胡椒的辛辣,最后留下面包皮的香气。整体像个扎实的水果杂烩汤里撒了把海盐和烟熏香料,挺有意思的~
