Torabhaig The Legacy Series #4 - Sound Of Sleat Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
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 our 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. It is matured exclusively in first-fill American Oak (Quercus Alba) casks and 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.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a coppery, radiant glow.
Nose
Delicate orange, followed by apricot and a touch of popcorn, lending sweetness to maritime seaweed that echoes in the glass. Subtle pipe tobacco and smoke are rounded by honey, vanilla and boiled sweets.
Palate
Light, zesty oak spice lifts a rich bonfire smoke that's unmistakably Torabhaig. Waxy, honeyed vanilla notes mingle with sea salt and seaweed, while white pepper and a touch of sweet spice thread through the palate to a lingering coastal warmth.
Finish
Lingering and elegant, with delicate honeyed sweetness and maritime notes of sea salt that softly fade.
