Ledaig is the peated expression produced at Tobermory Distillery, the only Scotch whisky distillery on the Hebridean island of Mull. The distillery was founded in 1798 by John Sinclair, making it one of Scotland's oldest. Over the centuries it changed hands and names numerous times — at one point operating under the name Ledaig Distillery (Tobermory Ltd) — and endured several periods of closure and mothballing. The modern incarnation of the Ledaig brand did not fully resurface until 2007, though its roots run deep into the island's whisky-making heritage. Ledaig is defined by its heavy peat character, setting it apart from Tobermory Distillery's unpeated single malt of the same name. The portfolio is focused and deliberate, centred around two permanent expressions: a 10-year-old and an 18-year-old, the latter bottled at 46.3% ABV. These whiskies showcase the maritime and smoky qualities typical of island malts, with the peat smoke complemented by the influence of the sea air surrounding the Isle of Mull. Ledaig represents a bold, distinctive style that has earned it a loyal following among lovers of heavily peated Scotch whisky.
