Torabhaig
Tasting Notes
Allt Gleann, the second release in Torabhaig's Legacy Series, is a symphony of flavors that transports you to the rugged shores of the Isle of Skye. The nose captivates with a harmonious blend of woody tobacco, crumbly vanilla shortbread, and earthy peat smoke, infused with a zesty lemon twist and a salty hint of smoked shellfish. On the palate, bold peat takes center stage, accompanied by coastal tar, roasted salted nuts, and a light fruity medley. Floral wafts of heather and fennel mingle with a touch of metallic, medicinal pepper spice, creating a captivating complexity. The finish lingers with sweet notes of apples and kiwi, vanilla oak, and a grand crescendo of peat smoke, underscored by a refreshing sea breeze and a briny harbourside character. Crafted from small batches of whisky distilled in 2017 and 2018, Allt Gleann encapsulates the essence of Skye, brimming with roasty, smoky peat and an undeniable maritime allure, making it an impressive expression indeed.
