2017 Torabhaig, Allt Gleann, The Legacy Series, Island, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (46%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
Torabhaig Allt Gleann stands as a mighty statement of intent; rarely has a younger distillery produced such an accomplished whisky as this. This is beautifully distilled from very heavily peated barley, with green aromas of leaves and drenched moss. The true joy here is an immaculate interplay between well-tempered, smoky forest characteristics, and a succulent malt sweetness. There are playful flickers of tropical and orchard fruits too. This would be delicious after dinner, or even during, alongside Scottish venison.

About this spirit
Torabhaig Distillery
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
