Torabhaig 2017 The Legacy Series

Interesting light peat and red fruit. Well balanced medium body with oily mouth feel, short finish.

Was hoping for a Talisker knockoff,... not to be. There seems to be a lot of positive reviews here by many members I respect the opinions of. I dont know if they are grading on a curve cause this is a new distillery but Im just not feeling it. Regular pricing on this is around $55-60 but I got it on sale for $33 at TW. Poured neat this could be the lightest color whisky Ive ever seen just a tick above water. Noses like a smoky though with sweet bbq pit oceanside, wet graham cracker, cardboard and salty oak but not much depth. Palate is smoky,salty and sweet but generic and thin. Traditional smoke fade finish with some ash, tobacco and pepper added. There is nothing bad about this malt its just not standing out. Perhaps its the youth at play but Wee Beastie is young and still packs a punch. I will say there is a refinement not every smoker has and with more age this could be a player. I dont dislike this but would put it more on the level of Ardmore than the big boys. The $33 I paid is fine value but $60 is right out. I cannot score any peated scotch low as they are pretty damn good even when below the competition.........83/100

Had more of a alcohol tingle than i was expecting for its %. Overall quite enjoyed it. The first notes and the finish were particularly pleasing. The smokey richness was really well balanced.

Love the beginning: a wonderful blend of smoke and citrus. Middle has got a briny/gym sock flavour along with the alcohol tingle and burn that I’m not a fan of. Lovely butterscotch finish. Overall, evokes a hike through a forest with a tough elevation change in the middle which leads to an excellent view which makes it mostly worth the climb.
