Ledaig is the name for peated whisky produced at the Tobermory distillery situated in the vibrant heart of the main town of Tobermory on the Inner Hebridean island of Mull. The distillery was named Ledaig when it reopened after a forty year closure following The Great Depression in the 1930’s. It wasn’t long before the name switched back to Tobermory. Another link to the name Ledaig is the land leased to build the distillery was also know as Ledaig. The distillery has undergone a fantastic refurbishment by its new owners Distell who produce single malt under the Tobermory distillery name. In 2021 ‘The Hebridean’ was introduced which was the start of an exciting limited series. The first in this series was a 23 year old with an 8 years finish in oloroso casks. Due to its popularity the production of the peated Ledaig is set to increase from around half to three quarters of the distillery's outturn.
