Torabhaig 2017 The Legacy Series

Single Malt — Skye, Scotland

Reviewed April 19, 2021 (edited August 4, 2021)
3.75
3.75 out of 5 stars
Yes it's a young NAS from a new distillery on Skye but more complex and intriguing than the age suggests. I'm really interested to see what Torabhaig can really produce when they have the capital from the first few releases. When they can make some unique aged whisky and some complex interesting ones as they won't be hampered by pressure to get something on the shelves. Nose is Ardbeg smoke competing with pineapple, mango and pear fruit and vanilla and toffee sweetness. Behind what jumps out of the glass is a malty cereal note, hint of citrus and also a hint of sour mineral heavy peatbog bordering on laphroaig medicinal and a touch of wet wood. Taste is a bit of a departure from this rather light sweet nose you still get the sweet tropical fruit, the smoke and light but dry oak, and the vanilla toffee sweetness but mid palate and holding all the way to the finish is a very strong black pepper note (very high rye bourbon cask influence ala 4 roses or barton) and a almost tabasco sauce slow red pepper burn not an alcohol burn but from the peppery notes. Finish is the sweet and malty notes with the dominant pepper spice. This whisky takes cues from Ardbeg10 , Laphroaig 10, Tobermory, Talisker's red pepper, and throws in a huge amount of Ardbeg's Corryvreckan spicy black pepper to come up with a everything but the kitchen sink whisky; hopefully they keep it up.
