Torabhaig Distillery

Torabhaig Club Reserve Release 3 #929

ABV: 61.5% 70 cL

This exclusive release in the Club Reserve series was distilled in 2017 and matured for 5 years in American Standard Barrels, followed by a 6-month finish in Madeira Hogsheads. Bottled at cask strength with no chill filtration or added coloring, this limited edition whisky showcases the rich interplay between Torabhaig’s signature peat smoke and the sweet, fruity influence of the Madeira casks. It is a rare and sought-after expression, offering a unique exploration of the island spirit.

Nose

The nose opens with a gentle waft of peat smoke, intertwined with vibrant aromas of dried fruits, such as figs and raisins, imparted by the Madeira cask. Subtle notes of vanilla and honey add sweetness, while a hint of citrus zest and toasted almonds rounds out the complexity.

Palate

On the palate, the initial sweetness of caramelized fruits and honey melds with the smoky backbone. The influence of the Madeira Hogsheads introduces layers of spiced fruitcake, orange peel, and a touch of dark chocolate, balanced by the underlying peat and a whisper of oak spice.

Finish

The finish is long and warming, with the Madeira's rich fruitiness slowly fading into a harmonious blend of lingering peat smoke, gentle spices, and a final touch of sweet oak. The interplay between the cask influences leaves a well-rounded and satisfying impression.
