The name "Tobermory" is derived from the Gaelic "Tobar Mhoire",
which means "Well of Mary", and relates
to the well and chapel of St. Mary.
Tobermory Distillery is one of
Scotland's oldest operational Malt
Whisky distilleries and celebrated its
200th anniversary in 1998.
Although it was not purchased by Burn
Stewart until 1993, the distillery was
fully established in 1823. The
distillery was purchased by Burn Stewart
in 1993, at which point the company
invested in a major upgrade to enable
long term malt whisky production at
Tobermory.
Many Island and Islay
malts tend to be heavily peated.
Tobermory, however, is only lightly
peated, it draws its overtones only from
the water on the Island. This makes it
particularly easy to drink, and is why
it serves as the perfect introduction to
Island Malt Scotch Whiskies.
Today Tobermory
distillery produces two different single malts,
Tobermory and Ledaig. The Tobermory malt
is lighter than the peated Ledaig, from
the same distillery, the ten year old
Tobermory has a nuttiness with a touch
of toffee.

for more info on the Tobermory
distillery and the whiskies it produces.

Subtle nutty aroma.

Suprisingly smooth, not overpowering.

Pleasing.
Comments:
Top Notch! It was hibernating in my
brother's cubbard untouched, for the
past 10 months. Somebody had to open it
up, so I did the right thing and tried
it. And I was pleasantly surprised!
