Torabhaig The Legacy Series Chapter No. 4 – Sound of Sleat (70cl, 46%)

Torabhaig Legacy Series Chapter No. 4, called Sound of Sleat, is a peated single malt from the distillery on the Isle of Skye. It takes its name from the Sleat area and the stretch of sea that separates the island from the Scottish mainland. It is made from Concerto and Laureate malted barley with a phenol level of 78ppm or more in the grain, matured in American oak and bottled at 46% without chill-filtration or added colour. Artwork by local artist Ellis O'Connor, showing the view from the distillery, appears on the bottle and box. The nose brings pipe tobacco, orange and apricot, with honey and vanilla beneath. On the palate there is sweet bonfire smoke, beeswax, brine and white pepper, and the finish is long, with brine and honey.
