Torabhaig: Home on the Isle of Skye

“Taigh” means “home” in Scots Gaelic, and it’s the name for the newest expression from Torabhaig Distillery on the Isle of Skye. It’s a precursor to the first 10-year-old Torabhaig single malt expected late next year, and we’ll learn more about Taigh and the distillery from Torabhaig’s Bruce Perry on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the receiver in the Uncle Nearest case is blaming the bank for failing to do its own due diligence before loaning millions of dollars to Uncle Nearest, Ian Macleod Distillers cuts back on production at Glengoyne and Rosebank distilleries, and the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame announces its class of 2026.
