Poit Dhubh (pronounced 'potch ghoo') is a Gaelic name meaning 'black pot' — a direct reference to the illicit pot stills once used by Highland moonshiners. The brand is part of the Pràban Na Linne portfolio, a company founded in 1976 by Sir Iain Nobile on the Isle of Skye. Rooted in the romantic traditions of Scottish whisky heritage, Poit Dhubh celebrates the spirit of clandestine distilling while delivering a thoroughly legitimate and respected product. The Poit Dhubh range consists of unchill-filtered blended malt whiskies, drawing on high-quality malts from Islay, the Islands, and the Highlands. Available in several age expressions — including an 8 Year Old and a 12 Year Old — the range is known for its rich, expressive character. The 12 Year Old, bottled at 43%, offers a medium-bodied profile with dark smoky aromas and a subtle hint of citrus, reflecting the peaty influence of the island malts in the blend. The non-chill-filtration ensures maximum flavour and a natural, full texture in the glass. Poit Dhubh shares its home with the celebrated blended Scotch Tè Bheag, another flagship from Pràban Na Linne. Together, these expressions have helped establish the company as a distinctive voice in Scottish whisky, championing traditional island character and Gaelic culture.
