Toor Grain Whisky is our inaugural release, reflecting the essence of traditional whisky craftsmanship with a modern twist. Aged in ex-bourbon American oak and finished in French oak, this rich and smooth whisky boasts a warm amber color. The nose offers elegant vanilla and roasted oak, leading to a palate rich in nutty caramel and stone fruit flavors. The finish is well-refined, with hints of maple and earthy tones. Bottled at 43% ABV, Toor Grain Whisky is designed to be enjoyed neat or in cocktails, making it versatile for any whisky enthusiast.
Toor Rooibos Infused Whisky is a testament to our commitment to showcasing South African flavors. This unique whisky starts with our original grain whisky, aged in ex-bourbon casks, and then infused with natural Rooibos leaves. The infusion process imparts a beautiful floral sweetness on the nose, combining the complex flavors of oak with subtle rooibos aromas. The palate is greeted with a harmonious blend of stone fruit, vanilla, and a lingering floral note, creating a well-balanced and distinctive taste profile. This whisky aperitif is perfect for those who appreciate a nuanced and innovative spirit.
Camel Thorn Aged Whisky, known as Toor Kameeldoring, is an exquisite spirit that captures the essence of South African terroir. After its initial aging in traditional casks, this whisky undergoes a secondary maturation with Kameeldoring wood, or Camel Thorn. This unique process imbues the whisky with a dark, spicy, and elegant flavor profile. The deep amber color is matched by an aroma of warm spices and oak, leading to a complex palate with notes of roasted nuts, caramel, and subtle smokiness. Camel Thorn Aged Whisky is a celebration of local flavors and innovative distillation.

At Toor Whisky, our journey begins with a passion for distillation and a love for local ingredients. Founded by Danielle Schoeman and Gerrit Wagener in Cape Town, South Africa, Toor Whisky is the result of years of dedication and innovation. Danielle, our Whisky Maker, transitioned from a corporate career to follow her dream of creating exceptional spirits. Her journey took her from experimenting with tequila in the Karoo to establishing Doña Distillery, where our whiskies are meticulously crafted.
Our distillery combines traditional methods with modern technology, including vacuum distillation, to create a unique and refined whisky. Each bottle of Toor Whisky is a testament to our commitment to quality and our deep connection to South African heritage. We source local grains and age our whisky in refurbished casks from the renowned wine regions surrounding Cape Town, adding a distinct character to our spirits.
