located at the Isle of Mull, Tobermorey Distillery was founded in 1798. After 42 years of closure, the distillery reopened in 1972 and renamed it to Ledaig. The distillery was closed again in 1975 and reopened in 1989 under the name Tobermory. Since then, two single malts have been produced; one unpeated (Tobermory) and one peated (Ledaig). To produce the latter, the distillery obtains barley from Port Ellen maltings.
