El whisky escocés de malta única está indisolublemente ligado a su lugar de origen, quizás más que cualquier otro producto.
El agua, la tierra, el clima, todos influyen en el carácter del whisky.
Todos estos factores también son de vital importancia a la hora de planificar una nueva destilería.
Después de una restauración y construcción de 4 años, Torabhaig es una destilería de whisky escocés de malta única en pleno funcionamiento desde enero de 2017, la segunda en la Isla de Skye.

Inspired by a photograph by @soctchwhiskycom about @tamnavulinwhisky
The name Tamnavulin is the Gaelic translation of "mill on the hill", and owes its name in part to the historic old carding mill that stands on the site of the distillery.
Local farmers brought their sheep fleeces here in the summer months to turn them into wool.
The story of Tamnavulin began in 1966 with the opening of the distillery in the rural village of Tomnavoulin, Scotland.
Although the doors were closed in 1995, they reopened in 2007 following a major refurbishment of the distillery.
Since then they have produced an exceptional single malt whiskey with true Speyside character; rich, soft and honeyed.

Celebrating the first release of “The Hearach”, the first single malt whiskey from the Isle of Harris
Hearach is the first historic single malt whiskey from the Isle of Harris and revives distilling traditions lost during the Pabbay Clearances in the 1840s.
This new whiskey is the result of a considered conversation between people and the place, coming together to create an elegant spirit of complexity and character.
The work of the men and women of the island is intertwined with the natural world to weave a whiskey of distinction from the Outer Hebrides.
The people local distills every drop of this new tipple to produce a special spirit that has been matured, married and bottled on the Isle of Harris.
The Hearach, the first single malt Scotch whiskey release from the Isle of Harris, is bottled at 46% abv, non-chill filtered and contains no artificial colors and can be purchased starting today, September 23, 2023, at www.harrisdistillery.com

Inspired by a photograph of Port Ellen Distillery
Fundada en 1825 en las afueras de la ciudad del mismo nombre, funcionó sin incidentes hasta 1930, cuando fue suspendida. Propiedad de Distillers Company Ltd desde 1925, reabrió sus puertas en 1967, después de algunas remodelaciones y ampliaciones, para proporcionar whisky para las mezclas de la empresa.
Continuó en producción durante la década de 1970 y se cerró en 1983.
The distillery is owned by Diageo and its construction is currently under the direction of Alexander McDonald, an Islay resident who held previous positions at the Kilchoman, Lagavulin and Caol Ila distilleries. Plans are to reopen the distillery in 2023 and wake it from its long, silent slumber.
