The Isle of Skye Golf Club is helping James Coull fight MS with HSCT in Mexico

The golfing season commences of Saturday 5th April and Members are invited to participate in a 'Mixed Scramble' event raising funds for local man James Coull.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, HSCT is an established chemotherapy medical treatment demonstrated to be very effective at halting disease progression in neurologic autoimmune diseases, such as MS. The aim of this treatment is to reboot the immune system to stop it from attacking the protective covering of nerve cells in the brain, optic nerve and spinal cord, called the myelin sheath.

This treatment is not an option through the NHS, which is why James needs to go to Mexico for world-class medical attention that is internationally recognised, as you can imagine it comes at a significant cost.
The event is only a small part of organised fundraising to assist James with his trip.

The Draam is our signature style single malt. Lightly peated and balanced with rich, dark fruit flavours coming from our unique six cask recipe created by our Master Distiller, Alasdair.

Peated and unpeated spirit matured separately in three different types of oak casks: ex American Rye, virgin Chinkapin oak and ex Bordeaux red wine – the only cask combination of its kind in Scotch whisky history! Always natural colour and non-chill filtered. 46.4% ABV.

It’s the Torabhaig way to do things differently. From restoring the old farmstead in Torabhaig into our new distillery and home - the second ever licensed Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery on the Isle of Skye. To employing local people with new and different perspectives to be our distillers (our Journeyman), training them to be the next generation experts. To championing local businesses in the gift shop, sponsoring Isle of Skye Golf Club or partnering with the National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture.

Three years is the minimum time that spirit must spend in cask before it is Scotch Whisky, and we’re not shy to say we’re phenomenally excited by the casks we’ve sampled so far and the first whiskies we’re releasing, but the journey to produce what will end up as Torabhaig 10 Year Old Single Malt for example has only just begun. Furthermore many would tell you that it’s a lot longer before a Single Malt truly comes of age. So we feel we would be getting ahead of ourselves to make too many definite claims about the whisky we are making and the whiskies to come, instead we can tell you about our thoughts on making whisky.
