Nose
Gentle peat smoke underlines aromas of citrus zest, vibrant fruits, and a faint echo of smoldering ashes. There's a layer of vanilla sweetness, enriched by nuances of freshly cut oak.
Palate
On the palate, the smokiness evolves with a hint of grilled barbecue, paired with spicy black pepper, a subtle balsamic zest, added sweetness, and a whisper of spice. Hints of cedar and leather emerge, deepened by the sherry cask's contribution.
Finish
Sherry cask influences gracefully emerge, maintaining a balanced interplay with Torabhaig's signature peat and spice blend, highlighting its intricate and harmonious nature.
