The only distillery on Mull, it is currently owned by Burn Stewart Distillers, a subsidiary of Distell Group Limited of South Africa.

[2] Sinclair had originally arrived in the village as a merchant dealing with soda ash from burning the locally available kelp.

[7] Dr. Neil M'Nab Campbell acquired the distillery in 1876 and he fitted it out with equipment from James and Thomas Dale engineers of Townsend Foundry.

[15] In 1936 it was sold to John McLean of Edinburgh and all the contents were transferred to the bonded warehouses of the Scottish Malt Distillers’ Company in Campbeltown.

[16] In 1972 it was reopened under the name of Ledaig Distillery (Tobermory) Ltd.[13] In May 1975, production had to stop for a month as storage space for the whisky had run out.

[18] Burn Stewart Distillers were bought out by Trinidad–based CL Financial for £49 million in 2002, including the distillery at Tobermory and Deanston.

[19] It remains the only whisky distillery on the Isle of Mull, in the main village of Tobermory at the northern tip of the island.

[18] In 2012, during the driest summer for thirty years, the distillery was forced to halt production temporarily, to preserve the quality and consistency of its whisky.
