Although founded in 1798 the actual distillery that sits on Mull today and produces the Ledaig (led-CHIG) and Tobermory (TOH-ber-mor-ee) malts was reconstructed and began production back in 1972. A more complete version of this story is written in the Ledaig whisky profile so go to that page for more concise dates and data. This page is more concerned with the specific character of the Tobermory spirit.
