The Torabhaig Legacy Series Chapter 3: Cnoc Na Mòine marks another bold step forward from one of Scotland’s most exciting young distilleries. Nestled on the Isle of Skye, Torabhaig has quickly earned a reputation for crafting elegant, peated single malts with real depth, and Cnoc Na Mòine is no exception.
Meaning “hill of peat” in Gaelic, Cnoc Na Mòine pays tribute to the rugged, windswept terrain of Skye, where this spirit was born. This release dials up the peat, delivering a smoky richness that remains balanced and composed, a testament to the distillery’s "Well-Tempered Peat" philosophy. Expect a full-bodied whisky with aromas of coastal smoke, earthy depth, and subtle floral notes.
On the palate, the smoke is present but never overwhelming, layered with sweet malt, citrus zest, dried herbs and a touch of brine. Matured in a carefully selected mix of American and European oak casks, this single malt reveals structure and finesse with every sip. It’s a whisky that invites you in, and rewards slow exploration.
Cnoc Na Mòine continues the journey toward Torabhaig’s first 10-year-old core expression. Each chapter in the Legacy Series builds on the last, showcasing the evolution of style and complexity as the spirit matures. For collectors, peat lovers, and curious drinkers alike, this release is a must-have moment in modern Scotch.
Cnoc Na Moine opens with gentle peat smoke, citrus zest, and vibrant fruits, subtly sweetened by vanilla and freshly cut oak. The palate deepens with smoky barbecue, black pepper, and balsamic zest, complemented by cedar, leather, and the richness of sherry casks. The finish elegantly balances sherry notes with Torabhaig's signature peat and spice.
