Bottle Information
Bottler: Distillery
Cask Type: bourbon cask matured
Type: Single Malt Scotch
Tasting Notes
Nose: Billows of kiln smoke and sea spray meet lemon shortbread, toasted coconut and a hint of fresh mint.
Palate: A lively surge of charcoal embers, cracked black pepper and liquorice root gives way to sweet vanilla fudge, green apple and creamy malt.
Finish: Medium-long and gently drying—lingering peat embers, citrus zest and a final, briny whisper of Skye’s shoreline.
Celebrate a new era of Skye whisky with Torabhaig — 2017 Legacy Series, Inaugural Release. Distilled during the very first year of production at the island’s first new distillery in almost two centuries, this heavily peated single malt spent its entire maturation in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. Bottled at 46 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, the Inaugural Release unveils Torabhaig’s emerging “well-tempered peat” style: bold island smoke interlaced with bright orchard fruit, creamy vanilla and a refreshing coastal breeze.
