The Whisky
Created to celebrate Mac Y’s 30th anniversary, this release is a marriage of ideas and whisky. Smoky malts, peated to over 100ppm, are balanced by the spice, sweetness and vanilla of bourbon casks and the dried fruit and tangy notes of sherry wood. At its heart is a heavy-toast European oak hogshead, hand-crafted by master cooper Juan Pino and seasoned for 24 months with fine Oloroso sherry before it was filled with our signature peated spirit. The result is a whisky of real depth: smoky yet refined, bold yet elegant.
TASTING NOTES
Nose : Honey, white pepper, candied fruit, and intense sweet smoke with a touch of seaside iodine. An undercurrent of subtle citrus and hazelnut.
Palate : Floral smoke, overlayed with complex spice and a touch of sandalwood/clove and leather/tabac.
Finish : Long and well developed, some sweet malty notes and the youthful spirit adds lift with a final touch of fire and floral smoke.

The Distillery
Welcome to Torabhaig Distillery
Welcome to Torabhaig, a small, independent distillery part of the Sleat Peninsula on the Isle of Skye. We love exploring subtle, elegant flavours of peat inspired by our beautiful surroundings and thriving community. This is how we create our signature smoke flavours - a house style called ‘smoke with taste’.
Exploring Smoke with Taste
Each Torabhaig cask has its own voice - shaped by wood, weather and time - and every so often, one stands apart. These are our single cask bottlings. Rare glimpses into the soul of Torabhaig, where our house style takes on a new accent, a different rhythm. Still unmistakably ‘Smoke with Taste’. Still born of Skye. Just told in a different way.
