Torabhaig Distillery
Skye’s newest distillery, Torabhaig, is located just a few miles away. Torabhaig Distillery was the brainchild of one of Scotland’s most farsighted and influential entrepreneurs, Sir Iain Noble. The concept of converting a listed early 1800s farm steading into a malt whisky distillery was conceived by Sir Iain and has been brought to fruition by the new company of Mossburn Distillers Ltd.
Torabhaig has been a fully operational Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery since January 2017, the second ever on the Isle of Skye. They offer distillery tours and there is also a shop and café.
