TASTING NOTES - TORABHAIG SOUND OF SLEAT

Nose

The first impressions are of light vanilla and custard, smoked creme brulee, popcorn with butter. The peat is more complex than in other releases, with herbal, pipe tobacco sensations, with a touch of iodine.

Palate

Here the sweet bonfire smokiness is central, with an extra light and zesty oak spice. Subtly waxy with hints of honey, pear and vanilla custard balancing sea salt and seaweed.

Finish

Medium, light and relatively fresh, with the return of salt and pepper mix.

Torabhaig Sound of Sleat is a very balanced, rich release, which is providing an extra dimension to the Torabhaig smokiness, adding custard, vanilla, honeyed pears and some interesting mix of salt and pepper spices. Probably the best of the Legacy series.
