Torabhaig is a brand new distillery on the Isle of Skye, the first to be built in 190 years.  It is a project brought to life by Spirits distribution company Marussia Beverages and a real labour of love.  They are aiming to bring a new high quality and authentic Whisky production to the Island. The style of the Whisky is shaped by its environment, with its rugged backdrop, pure spring water and local peat source. The old farmhouse which houses the distillery is a blend of old and new.  They want to capture tradition and yet still focus on quality.

There are 200 years of Whisky making experience in the team alongside a group of young apprentices just starting out on their Whisky making careers. The style of the distillery is called ‘Well Tempered Peat’.  This is a term which aims to capture the many faces and moods of peat smoked Whisky.  Its balance between strength and refinement, elegance and robustness.  Like all distilleries, Torabhaig is a long term project, a testament to patience and time.  The first 10 years of production will yield only a limited supply of Legacy Whiskies.  The 2017 being the first of 4 which will lead up to the 10 year old release in 2027.
