Torabhaig Club Reserve Release No 8
Only for Torabhaig Club Members
Casks 120 & 121
Exclusive to Torabhaig Club Members
Our eighth Club Reserve bottling marks a quiet milestone in the Torabhaig story. Drawn from just two first-fill bourbon casks filled in April 2017, this eight-year-old expression is the most mature Club Reserve we’ve released to date - a patient step forward in our exploration of Smoke with Taste.
Time has done its work gently. Eight years of sea air, oak and slow evolution have shaped a whisky that feels both assured and revealing - a glimpse of where our house style is heading.
On the nose, coastal smoke drifts through vanilla pod and soft orchard fruit, with hints of honeyed cereal and toasted oak. The palate is confident yet composed — sweet spice, custard cream, almond and subtle maritime salinity wrapped around our elegant peat. The finish lingers with warming oak, dried fruit and a persistent, balanced smoke that never overwhelms.
No secondary finishes. No distraction. Just spirit, oak and time in harmony.
Bottled at cask strength, non chill-filtered, with no added colouring — just as it should be.
This bottling is only available as part of The Torabhaig Club.
NOSE: The immediate note is a strong freshly lit bonfire smoke followed by a heavy pepper/rye warmth spice. There is toffee apple sticky sweetness layered with sweet caramel. There are undertones of citrus sweetness, salty sea air and a grassy/fresh hay notes.
PALATE: There is a heavy cereal note behind the slightly softened peat warmth with earthy characteristics. A candied sweetness comes through with a subtle hint of vanilla and butterscotch. There are hints of menthol spice which is predominant at the front of the mouth.
FINISH: The finish is sweet almond/marzipan with a pleasant peat smoke spice. The finish lingers more at the front of the mouth which is unusual compared to the traditional Torabhaig which tends to be dominant at the back.
