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.

第一口就闻到强烈的烟熏味,像海边篝火混着烤面包的香气。接着尝到一点甜味,有点像咳嗽糖浆,但没那么腻,反而有种热带水果的余韵在舌根打转。 喝下去的时候感觉有点“辣”,但不是酒精的刺,更像是姜汁的那种暖。隐约能尝到根茎类的味道,像芹菜根或者蒸过的芜菁泥。后调很长,慢慢变成潮湿的泥土和稻草的气息。 整体感觉挺复杂的,有些风味好像不太稳定,但喝起来意外地顺畅。海边的咸风一直缠在回味里,偶尔闪过一丝柑橘的清新。虽然闻起来烟熏重重,喝起来反而更内敛,像在听一场即兴爵士乐。🔥

刚倒出来就闻到一股子熟透的芒果和百香果的甜香,混着点柠檬皮的清新,居然还有点像晒过的干草味儿,挺阳光的感觉。 喝起来嘛,没闻着那么热带,反而有点烤过的香蕉、果酱那种扎实的甜,底下藏着一丝烟熏和胡椒的暖意,偶尔会冒出一点类似芹菜根的土腥气。 有点像在喝一杯加了香料的热带果汁,不过尾韵有点草药和甘草的微苦,平衡得刚好。感觉适合夏天傍晚,配着不太甜的点心慢慢嘬。🍹

First sip and honestly, this is stellar stuff. That deep coastal smoke hits you straight away, like proper great peaters should. There's lemons and oranges coming through too, almost like all-fruit juice. Then these ripe tropical fruits emerge — mangos lurking in the background, passion fruits, even bananas. Bready notes there as well, something like tinned porridge sweetness. Gets a bit dirtier after a while though, feinty with some medicinal character. Not quite cough syrup but you know, embrocations maybe? A bit of cough syrup vibes honestly 😅 There's peppery notes and roots underneath, like celeriac and mashed turnips kind of earthiness. Touch of liquorice too, and some straw. Really immense whisky this one, breathless stuff. Coastal and smoky through and through. These are fascinating drops, honestly don't need much — just sip slowly and let it all unfold 🥃 The tropical fruits keep coming back, less medicinal as it opens up. Proper good pour for a rainy evening.

Blimey, this one's a proper gem! 😊 Tastes like a burst of ripe tropical fruits – mangos and passion fruits upfront, with bananas and oranges sneaking in. There's a deep coastal smoke, really smoky but leaning less medicinal, almost like early new-era peaters. I get some bready notes and hints of tinned porridge, mixed with roots and celeriac that give it a dirtier, earthy feel. The finish is breathless and peppery, with a hint of cough syrup and all-fruit juice vibes. Mangos lurking in the background add a fascinating touch. It's an immense whisky, stellar and fabtastic – smokier than some, but still has that coastal charm. 👍

Just had a sip – it's like cough syrup with tropical fruits, passion fruits and mangos hiding in there. Noseless at first, but then a peppery kick hits with gentian bitterness. It's dirtier, with bready notes and a hint of embrocations, reminiscent of early new-era peaters. Tinned porridge and bananas come through, making it stellar, with jammy and liquorice layers. An immense whisky, fabtastic! 🥃
