Tobermory 24 year old Oloroso Cask Finish

For the second release in their Hebridean Series, the bottling strength has been increased to 52.5% ABV to highlight more of the Oloroso sherry casks in which this whisky has been maturing. The higher strength has intensified the spirit, imbuing it with a more concentrated, bold, and spicy character compared to the 23 Year Old Release. This 24 Year Old unpeated Tobermory whisky is bottled with natural color and is non-chillfiltered, like all of their whiskies.

Tobermory Distillery

This distillery is located on the village of Tobermory,  Isle of Mull. It was built in 1798 and opened using the name 'Ledaig'. From its inception the distillery operated with various difficulties and closed down in 1837. After the distillery reopened in 1878 it went through various changes of ownership until 1916 when it was acquired by Distillers Company Limited (DCL). Production lasted until 1930 when the distillery felt silent once again. 

Forty years later the distillery was reopened by a consortium which included the Domecq group, Panamanian interests and a Liverpool based shipping company. Tobermory was refurbished and its production capacity was expanded during the three year period that the consortium lasted. After the disbanding of the consortium an English company acquired the site and used it as holiday accommodation and cheese storage. When that venture failed the distillery remained silent again for 11 years. 

In 1982 Burn Stewart (current owners) acquired the distillery. The whisky came to prominence in the last few years after its packaging and bottling strength were revised. In 2017 the distillery closed again for a two year refurbishment. Ledaig is the name of the peated whisky produced at this distillery.
