History[edit | edit source]

The Torabhaig Distillery was established in 2017, making it one of the newest distilleries in Scotland. The distillery is housed in a renovated 19th-century farmstead, which was carefully restored to maintain its historical character. The distillery's location on the Isle of Skye provides it with a unique terroir that influences the flavor of its whisky.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production process at Torabhaig Distillery follows traditional methods. The distillery uses locally sourced barley, which is malted and then fermented in wooden washbacks.

The aging process can take several years, during which the whisky develops its distinctive flavor and aroma.
