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.
Behind the Torabhaig distillery is the Sound of Sleat. A narrow, powerful strip of sea dividing Skye and the mainland. Called Linne Shlèite in Gaelic. And what we’ve called the fourth chapter of the series.
Sound of Sleat is the fourth release in the Torabhaig Legacy Series, documenting the evolution of our signature style of 'Smoke with Taste'. This expression is crafted from a blend of Concerto and Laureate malted barley, peated to 78PPM+, and fermented with 100% Pinnacle MG yeast over a 72-hour period.
Nose: Pungent, oily, spicy molasses notes envelop creosote and smoky herbs. Roasted apples and raisins reveal a softer underside. With water, eucalyptus and menthol appear, while fennel and pine follow.
Mouth: Surprisingly balanced, the sizzling palate leads to peat smoke, coffee gruel and currants. Sweet lemon balm mingles with smoky tangerines, followed by a lively, smoky taste.
Finish: A long, sinuous finish brings subtle notes of vanilla and smoked butter.
Nose: Herbaceous, sweet and fragrant. Subtle notes of smoke, lemon, linseed oil and candied walnuts follow. A little water and the perfume intensifies, releasing heather honey, a touch of creosote and a tiny trace of tent cloth.
Mouth: Beautiful sparkling texture with real effervescence on the tongue. Initially intensely sweet, it evolves towards anise, caramel, cookies, peppermint, menthol, tar and coffee.
Finish: On soot and tar with a taste of cough drops, bitter oranges and fine tannins.
