Torabhaig Distillery

Torabhaig Club Reserve Release 5 #1056

ABV: 60.7% 70 cL

This limited edition in the Club Reserve series was distilled in 2018 and matured in Rum Barrels, adding a unique tropical dimension to Torabhaig’s heavily peated single malt. Bottled at cask strength with no chill filtration or added coloring, this whisky combines the robust peat smoke characteristic of Torabhaig with the sweet, fruity richness imparted by the rum casks. With only a select number of bottles available, this release offers a rare and intriguing exploration of the island spirit.

Nose

Soft peat smoke intertwines with notes of ripe tropical fruits, such as mango and pineapple, with a delicate sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar and molasses. Subtle hints of vanilla and toasted oak add depth, while a faint whisper of maritime air lingers in the background.

Palate

On the palate, the peat smoke is more pronounced, blending seamlessly with rich flavours of caramelized banana, spiced rum, and a touch of ginger. The sweetness from the rum barrels brings out layers of honeyed fruit, balanced by a gentle spiciness and a hint of salty brine.

Finish

The finish is long and warming, with the tropical sweetness fading into a harmonious balance of peat smoke and soft oak. The rum cask influence leaves a lasting impression of spiced fruit and a subtle, lingering sweetness, perfectly complementing Torabhaig's signature style.
