About
Details

Isle of Sky’s secret weapon.

The Gaelic Whisky Company (Pràban na Linne in Gaelic) was established in 1976 by Sir Iain Noble on the Isle of Skye. It first opened to help create employment in the South of the Island and to provide authentic Whisky for Gaelic speaking islands of Scotland. They offer three different Scotch Whiskies: The Mac Na Mara Blended Whisky, Poit Dhubh Blended Malt Scotch (pron. Potch goo), and Té Bheag Connoisseurs Blended Whisky

Poit Dhubh 30YO Malt Whisky is their rarest expression. This extremely limited release is a Blended Malt Scotch that is said to contain a lot of Talisker, since it’s the only distillery on the Isle of Skye. The other single malts remain a mystery, but apparently it combines Speyside and Highland Scotch Whiskies, too. It’s aged in Sherry casks, bottled at 46%, without chill-filtration. It’s important to know, that they offer an 8, 12 and 21 version of the Poit Dhubh, too, as a more standard offering, but the 30YO is really, really hard-to-find. Scout their website… it’s not there. It’s a mystery. But we have it. And so can you.
