In 1797 John Sinclair, an innovative kelp merchant, applied for a lease of land know as Ledaig (letch-ick), which means “safe haven”. After his first application was rejected, he persevered, remained true to his vision and, a year later the distillery was established.
This is the first release of Tobermory Distillery’s Sinclair Series and is inspired by the Spanish galleon which sank of the harbour of Tobermory more than 400 years ago. Believed to have been laden with jewels, this signature expression of Ledaig has been finished in hand selected Rioja casks in honour of the Spanish treasure buried deep off the shoreline.
Made with heavily peated barley before being matured in ex-bourbon casks, and finished in hand-selected Spanish Rioja casks. This single malt contains powerful flavours of smoke, spice, grape and sweet berries, with a lingering saltiness. Is the very definition of Tobermory Distillery’s expressive nature.

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.
