70cl * 46% ABV * Scotland
Torabhaig is the first distillery to be built on Skye in 190 years, and the second to ever (legally!) operate on the island. Since January 2017, they've been distilling in copper stills and fermenting in traditional wooden washbacks, ensuring complexity of flavour. They are also known for their exploration of peat to imbue subtle, elegant smoke flavours into their whisky.
Taigh is the first core expression from Torabhaig - their signature release and the purest reflection of our house style, ‘Smoke with Taste’.
Crafted to be elegant, expressive and welcoming, Taigh is matured in a considered combination of First Fill Bourbon barrels, Refill Bourbon casks and select Madeira casks, bringing balance, softness and depth to our gently peated spirit.
The result is a whisky that invites you in. On the nose, soft seaside embers and flint smoke meet baked apple, maple syrup and gentle spice. The palate is smooth and lightly oily, with vanilla custard, toasted almond and sweet dried fruits wrapped in elegant smoke. The finish is warm and lingering, with cinnamon, clove and a persistent, welcoming glow.
Bottled at 46% without chill-filtration or colouring.
