Torabhaig Club Reserve Release No 8
Only for 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.
Bottled at cask strength, non chill-filtered, with no added colouring.
This bottling is only available as part of The Torabhaig Club.
NOSE: Left to settle in the glass, the spirit opens with clarity and archetypal Torabhaig character — pure, ashy smoke layered with bright citrus, green apple freshness and a clean coastal brine. The peat is gentle and refined, carrying a soft humus earthiness, while creamy vanilla lingers quietly in the background.
PALATE: Black pepper warmth leads, joined by a touch of sea salt and expressive oak spice. Softer caramel notes unfold behind the peat, balanced by the structure of cask strength and lively spice. Clean and bright throughout, it recedes gracefully — like a long, glowing evening by the sea.
FINISH: A splash of water softens the edges, bringing smoke and oak into harmonious balance. Golden baking spice, baked apple and a hint of spun sugar emerge, all wrapped in lingering peat and a distinct coastal freshness that carries the dram gently onwar
