Discover The Distillers' Series
We believe whisky should tell a story of people as much as place.
The Distillers' Series is Torabhaig's brand new single malt whisky range - where the people shaping our distillery are given the freedom to explore new ideas, flavours and techniques.
Same Stills, New Stories.
Same Stills, New Stories.
The Distillers' Series is our brand new range of single malts - where the people shaping our distillery are given the freedom to explore new ideas, flavours and techniques. We're introducing the first two: Iona's First Edition and Niall's First Edition - each one a first release under their own name, and a first taste of what's to come.
Iona MacPhie has been part of the distilling team since 2017. Her first edition marks an exciting Torabhaig first, too - an unpeated single malt, drawn from the same stills that shape our signature smoke.
Product: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottling Strength: 60.9%
Base Malt: Unpeated Malt
Specialty Malt: 10% Chocolate Malt
Wood: First Fill Bourbon, Refill Sherry Butts
Nose: Soft and inviting, opening with smooth vanilla sweetness and creamy cocoa butter. Layers of dark chocolate and malted cereal bring depth, while a gentle lift of citrus and subtle tropical notes adds brightness.
Palate: Palate: Warming and expressive, led by clove and a cool hint of peppermint, gradually building into a richer spice character. Sweet notes of caramel and toffee unfold alongside redcurrant and raisin, adding a dark fruit richness, while toasted oak provides structure. A thread of ginger emerges and gradually carries through the palate toward the finish.
Finish: Long and vibrant, where that warming ginger note continues alongside peppercorn and cinnamon spice. A return of vanilla softens the spice, leaving a fresh, gracefully lingering and well-integrated finish.
Niall Culbertson has been part of the distilling team since 2017. His first edition is inspired by his childhood on Skye. Niall grew up around boats and the sea, so when the chance came to make his own whisky, something maritime felt like the natural place to start - sweetness, smoke, salt and the sea.
Product: Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottling Strength: 59.3%
Base Malt: 90% Peated Malt
Specialty Malt: 5% Dark Crystal Malt, 5% Brown Malt
Wood: First Fill Bourbon, Refill Rum
Nose: Bright and distinctive, led by tropical fruit - cooked pineapple, guava, and peardrop. Vanilla and golden syrup add a rich sweetness beneath, while soft ember ash and a light sweet char evoke a beachside campfire.
Palate: Fresh and mouth-watering, opening with juicy orange richness. Malty biscuit and soft vanilla build, while subtle sea salt and brine introduce a distinct coastal edge. A lightly oily texture carries the flavours, linking the tropical sweetness to the lingering spice.
Finish: Long and warming, with complex spices taking centre stage. Slight ashy peat adds depth, while the gentle warmth of the tropical sweetness and vanilla echoes through the lingering finish.
