Bàgh Garbh

Bàgh Garbh {Baah GAR-uv} - meaning ‘Rugged Bay’ in Scots Gaelic - takes its name from one of Islay’s most elemental landscapes. A place where the Atlantic does not arrive gently, but with force - shaping the shoreline, carving the rock, and leaving its imprint on everything it touches. There is a raw honesty to this bay. Windswept, weathered, and ever-changing, it embodies a kind of enduring strength that cannot be rushed or refined away. It is this character that defines the spirit of Bàgh Garbh.

Matured for 13 years and finished in Amontillado sherry casks, this expression reflects both resilience and depth. The cask influence brings warmth and structure - layers of dried fruit, nuttiness and spice - while the distillery’s coastal signature remains ever-present, like sea air carried on the wind. This is a whisky shaped by contrast: rugged yet composed, powerful yet balanced.
