Torabhaig Taigh
Taigh is the first core expression from Torabhaig - our signature release and the purest reflection of our house style, ‘Smoke with Taste’.
Crafted to be elegant, expressive and welcoming, Taigh is matured in a considered combination of First Fill Bourbon barrels, Refill Bourbon casks and select Madeira casks, bringing balance, softness and depth to our gently peated spirit.
At Torabhaig, we favour First Fill Bourbon as the perfect partner for our style - drawing out notes of vanilla, sweet spice and honey that harmonise with our subtle coastal smoke. Refill casks allow the distillery character to shine through, while the Madeira influence lends a rounded fruit sweetness and warmth.
The result is a whisky that invites you in. On the nose, soft seaside embers and flint smoke meet baked apple, maple syrup and gentle spice. The palate is smooth and lightly oily, with vanilla custard, toasted almond and sweet dried fruits wrapped in elegant smoke. The finish is warm and lingering, with cinnamon, clove and a persistent, welcoming glow.
Bottled at 46% without chill-filtration or colouring.
Nose: Seaside embers and flint smoke are balanced by earthy woodland notes, evoking an autumnal forest walk. Sweet layers of baked apple pie, maple syrup, and gentle raisin richness emerge, alongside a touch of clove, cinnamon spice, and a hint of cereal biscuit.
Palate: Light to medium-bodied, with soft smoke wrapped in vanilla custard, toasted almond and sweet dried fruits, all carried on a smooth, oily texture.
Finish: Gentle yet spirited, with toasted oak and a sprightly touch of tannin. Lingering vanilla and red fruits mingle with cinnamon and clove spice, before settling into a persistent, pleasant smoke that rounds it off with both warmth and approachability.

Maker's Musings
“Taigh is the heart of Torabhaig. It captures everything we’ve been working towards since we first started distilling – a whisky with elegance, balance and character, where smoke enhances the flavour rather than dominating it. First-fill bourbon barrels have always been the signature of Torabhaig and allow our Smoke with Taste philosophy to shine. But, the addition of Madeira in this expression brings a softening roundness to the spirit that we think makes this whisky especially welcoming.”
