Tobermory Hebridean Gin is a small-batch-distilled gin from the Isle of Mull. Made in the Tobermory distillery that is better known for creating Scotch whisky. It features local botanicals including elderflower, tea and wild heather, and a dash of Tobermory new-make spirit, which is used more as another botanical rather than the full base. Initially made in a 60-litre still named Wee Mary, Tobermory Gin has a larger dedicated gin still in a stillhouse separate from the existing whisky-producing space.
Mixed peels, vanilla blossom and a hint of malty warmth.
Savoury elements sit up front - oily juniper, cardamom and kitchen herbs. Clean lemon zest and star anise notes cut through the herbaceousness.
Malty vanilla returns on the finish, with a touch of floral heather.

I got a bottle as a present for my 70th. I loved it so now going to treat myself to another! Eileen
Unlike the 'amazing' reviews this gin has received so far, time for a reality check balanced opinion. First off the scent is amazing!, the nose on this gin is lovely and promises much. Sadly the taste does not match the scent. The malt influence is very evident and i'd lay odds that most positive reviews will be from whisky lovers a plenty. You do get the elder flower and orange but the other botanical's just get blown away, it delivers a very brief floral burst but blink and it's gone. It does have a quality feel of a very refined gin but it's too delicate and can't hide the whisky influence. Pity, could have been great, is Ok.
Friends on Holiday on the Isle of Mull brought me a bottle of Tobermory gin as a birthday gift, I absolutely loved the taste which I first tasted neat with an ice cube the flavours are very distinctive which I absolutely love and with the addition of a Schweppes signature tonic makes a wonderful long drink.
Really love this Gin! Smooth and enjoyed every sip. Will definitely buy this again in the future. Only have a little left, but I like to try a different gin frequently, but I will purchase again. Love the bottle stopper with its little map too.
We have been sent this Gin from friends who live in Isle of Mull. We have enjoyed drinking it. We have tried to source in New Zealand but have not had a lot of luck. Kind regards Annette
