Tobermory Distillery, which has been making whisky on the Scottish Isle of Mull since 1798 and is one of Scotland’s oldest, has prepared a range of four single malts for the holiday season. Two styles are produced under the same roof: the unpeated, fruity Tobermory and the peated Ledaig.
The starting point is Tobermory 12 Year Old (£47), the house’s signature whisky. The limited “Lores of Mull” series, inspired by the island’s legends and presented in illustrated packaging, brings two cask-strength editions: The Whispers of Burg, a 13-year-old Tobermory matured in Amontillado sherry casks (55.6%, £90), and Ban-fhàidh’s Rebirth, a Ledaig combining spirit matured in Bolgheri wine casks and Spanish brandy casks (57.6%, £70).
The most unusual release is Ledaig Castaway (£65), the first Ledaig to marry rum and Tequila cask maturation, intended to add depth to its smoky profile.
