Tobermory/Ledaig

Located on the tiny Isle of Mull, home to just 3000 people, is the electric Tobermory distillery. Originally founded in 1798 as the Ledaig distillery, it changed hands many times throughout its lifetime before being acquired by South African group Distell in 2013. It is the only distillery on the tiny island and is well known for its fruity yet maritime style of whisky, as well as its peated brand ‘Ledaig’, an honouring of the original distillery’s name. Distell utilises both the tobermory and Ledaig malts for its blends, being Black Bottle and Scottish Leader. Due to a lack of storage space, on the island of Mull, Tobermory whisky is distilled on the island before being transported to the Deanston distillery or Bunnahabhain distillery for storage.

Spirit Shop Selection

Founded in 2014 by Eric Huang, Spirits Shop Selection is a Taiwanese independent bottler. Huang is Taiwan’s premier whisky expert and has amassed a stunning portfolio of casks and is known throughout the world as Mr Karuizawa, since he stores the world’s remaining stock of the now closed Japanese distillery. Representing the SMWS in Taiwan as well as being a resident host at Whisky Live Taiwan, his eye for top quality whisky cannot be understated. His aim was to build a relationship between the East and West through the sharing of the world’s best spirits. Spirit Shop imports stunning single cask whisky and rum to Taiwan, as well as working with German bottler Sansibar to create their own label. Often incorporating elegant Asian inspired labels, they have recently started a number of new lines utilizing casks they have sourced themselves, 

Sansibar Whisky

Founded in Germany by renowned whisky collector Jens Drewitz, Sansibar Whisky has been supplying the Sansibar restaurant with many fine casks of both whisky and rum for years. Located on the Sylt island just between Germany and Denmark, the restaurant has become a hot retreat for those looking to experience the very best in food, wine and spirits. Jens hand picks almost every cask selected, often directly at the distilleries themselves, before bottling them under the Sansibar brand. Often collaborating with bottlers/importers across the globe, Drewitz has picked some of the worlds finest single casks of whisky and some of the rarest rums money can buy. Sansibar also acts as the importer and distributor of other bottling labels to Germany such as North star and Hidden Spirits.
