Tobermory, the only distillery on the Isle of Mull, is nestled in an idyllic green setting on the Isle of Hebrides. Founded in 1798 by John Sinclair as Ledaig (pronounced led-chigg; Gaelic for 'safe haven'), it is one of Scotland's oldest commercial distilleries. Its history is as colorful as the beach promenade, buffeted by change, financial difficulties and several closures. It's only since 1993 - the year it became part of Burn Stewart Distillers - that this precious jewel has begun to thrive again. In its warehouses, listed as historic monuments, award-winning whiskies are aged to perfection.
