Tasting Notes
Awards
Nose
Notes of delicate orange lead followed by touches of apricot and popcorn lending sweetness to the maritime seaweed that echos in the glass. Subtle pipe tobacco adds to the elegant smokiness and is rounded out by honey, vanilla and boiled sweets.
Palate
Light and zesty oak spice is joined by the rich and sweet bonfire smokiness that is so unmistakably Torabhaig spirit. Subtlety waxy with hints of honey and vanilla balancing sea salt and seaweed that ebbs away to white pepper and sweet spice.
Finish
Like a sunset over the Sound of Sleat, this is lingering and elegant with notes of honey, storms the ocean.
