First Releases: Torabhaig, Dornoch Distillery and Ardnamurchan
Scotland is seeing a boom in new distilleries and the first of the new wave have recently come of age and started to bottle whisky. In this session we’ll be chatting with the people behind three of the most anticipated distilleries in Scotland, and tasting not only their sold-out first releases, but also something special they’ve found just for us.
First Releases Masterclass

In this masterclass we’ll be tasting whiskies from these three distilleries:
Torabhaig: the second-ever legal distillery to be built on the Isle of Skye, its first release flew off the shelves when it finally landed in early 2021. This is a rare chance to try not only that first sold-out release, but also a specially selected cask sample to see what’s coming next.
Dornoch Distillery: the Thompson brothers are well known in the whisky world for their curation of the excellent Dornoch Castle Hotel whisky bar, and their distillery is hidden at the back of the hotel in an old fire station. They’re focused on old-fashioned whisky made slowly and with the finest ingredients. We’ll be trying their first release – from the first cask they ever filled – as well as something special from the warehouse.
Ardnamurchan: Adelphi have been known for independently bottling some of Scotland’s finest whiskies for decades, but after years of planning and waiting they have now started bottling their own. Hiding on the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula, the eponymous distillery is already turning heads with its early releases, and we’ll be trying the inaugural bottling. Along with that, they’ll also be bringing something special to show us what’s in store.
