Torabhaig Sound of Sleat 46%

Torabhaig Distillery is an award-winning craft whisky distillery located on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Using copper pot stills, and pure Skye spring water, Torabhaig produces rich, complex, elegantly peated single malts that reflect the island’s rugged coastal character.

Behind the Torabhaig distillery is the Sound of Sleat. A narrow, powerful strip of sea dividing Skye and the mainland. Called Linne Shlèite in Gaelic. And what we’ve called the fourth chapter of the series.

Sound of Sleat is the fourth release in the Torabhaig Legacy Series, documenting the evolution of the signature style of 'Smoke with Taste'. This expression is crafted from a blend of Concerto and Laureate malted barley, peated to 78PPM+, and fermented with 100% Pinnacle MG yeast over a 72-hour period.

This release is aged exclusively using Quercus Alba American Oak, including first-fill heavily toasted barrels shipped directly from the cooperage, first-fill Bourbon barrels typically 4-6 years old from Kentucky and refilled Bourbon barrels that may have had 10 years+ use from their own warehouses.

Bottled at 46% without chill-filtration or colouring. 

The result is a deeply expressive single malt, offering delicate notes of orange, apricot, and sweet maritime seaweed on the nose, a rich palate of bonfire smoke, honey, and sea salt, and a lingering, elegant finish that captures the spirit of storms, sunsets, and the wild Sound of Sleat.
