Tobermory Malt Scotch Whisky 1990s

The Isle of Mull's Tobermory distillery was first opened way back in 1798, and was known as Ledaig, which was the case for much of its history. It was dormant for the majority of the 20th century, shut down by DCL in 1930, and when it re-opened in 1972, it did so as again as Ledaig distillery. Its revival was only brief however, closing down in 1975. When the distillery was re-opened in 1979, it was now known as Tobermory. Its production in former years had generally been peated whisky, but the newly revived company began producing non-peated as well, for the provision of a blended malt which they marketed under the Tobermory name. Burn Stewart discontinued the blend when they took over in 1993, opting to continue the production of both styles as two distinct single malt brands. The un-peated single malt took over the Tobermory brand, while the traditional peated style fittingly retained the historic Ledaig name.

This is the pre-Burn Stewart version of the Tobermory brand, a vatted malt produced using whisky distilled at Ledaig in the early 1970s, and younger malts from elsewhere. Confusingly, Burn Stewart would continue to use this aesthetic for the brand when they took over in 1993, despite the product now being a single malt. It retained this look until 2007.
