61.1% ABV (122.2 Proof), 750 ml
Nose: Mellow, warming, comforting. Hints of wood smoke, some sweet peat, and cured lemons, but also slivers of wet wool, chalk and warm apple compote. There’s some plaster too, as well as honeyed porridge. Very uncomplicated yet smart and bright.
Taste: Mouthfeel is slightly oily. This is straight-forward peated whisky, yet slightly more mature than you’d maybe expect. And it’s not just coastal. There are lemons, some green olives, and it has a decent salinity. Just a touch of caraway, white pepper and petrol too.
Finish: Quite long with touches of wood smoke, a soft minerality and chalk. Some smoked barley husks too.
Torabhaig is the 2nd distillery on the Isle of Skye
