Torabhaig Distillery

Torabhaig Club Reserve Small Batch 2018

ABV: 58.1% 70 cL

Part of the exclusive Distillery Reserve Collection, this limited release was finished in casks from the Isle of Skye Brewing Company. The Skye Porter cask finish imparts deep malty notes, dark chocolate, and a subtle sweetness, perfectly complementing the robust peat smoke of our heavily peated single malt. This whisky embodies the spirit of collaboration and innovation at Torabhaig, delivering a richly layered and complex dram that reflects its unique island origins.

Nose

Subtle yet distinct peat smoke mingles with aromas of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and dried fruits. There’s a delicate trace of caramel sweetness, underscored by hints of earthy oak and a wisp of roasted coffee beans.

Palate

The palate opens with a wave of rich, creamy malt, followed by the warming embrace of smoked bacon and charred wood. Dark fruit compote intertwines with a dash of black pepper, while the porter cask adds a unique depth of mocha and toffee, culminating in a smooth, velvety texture.

Finish

The finish is long and satisfying, with the porter cask’s influence leaving a lingering note of rich maltiness, intertwined with the gentle ebb of peat smoke and a final touch of sweet, toasted barley. The complexity of flavours remains balanced and cohesive, offering a harmonious end to the dram.
