Description
Behind the Torabhaig distillery is the Sound of Sleat. A narrow powerful strip of sea dividing Skye and the mainland. Called Linne Shleite in Gaelic. It is also the fourth chapter of The Legacy Series, documenting the evolution of theTorabhaig ‘house style’ which culminates in the release of their first aged whisky, a 10-year-old.
Nose: Notes of delicate orange lead followed by touches of apricot and popcorn lending sweetness to the maritime seaweed that echoes in the glass. Subtle pipe tobacco adds to the elegant smokiness and is rounded out by honey, vanilla and boiled sweets.
Palate: Light and zesty oak spice is joined by the rich and sweet bonfire smokiness that is so unmistakably Torabhaig spirit. Subtly waxy with hints of honey and vanilla balancing sea salt and seaweed that ebbs away to white pepper and sweet spice.
Finish: Like a sunset over the Sound of Sleat, this is lingering and elegant with notes of honey, storms and the ocean.
