TORABHAIG Cnoc Na Moine Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl 46%

Torabhaig Cnoc Na Moine marks a confident evolution in the distillery’s Legacy Series, introducing a richer, darker style shaped by the influence of sherry and wine cask maturation. Named after the nearby hill “Cnoc na Moine” — Gaelic for Hill of Peat — this release reflects the rugged landscape and deep peaty heritage of the Isle of Skye. The spirit’s signature “well-tempered peat” character is beautifully balanced by layers of dried fruit, warm spice and coastal minerality. Bottled at 46%, non chill-filtered and natural in colour, Cnoc Na Moine represents a bold, expressive step forward for Torabhaig Distillery.

Finish: Long, smoky and warming. Lingering notes of embers, dried fruit, peppered oak and salted caramel fade slowly, revealing Torabhaig’s deep, well-rounded coastal character.
