Scotland trip update, tried this dram at Amber Bar in Edinburgh, one of the best and most affordable places in the city and my No. 1 recommendation for a whisky bar there. Torfa is most similar to, but not quite as good as, Ledaig 10. It’s all acrid peat and citrus on the nose, followed by an earthy palate of chewy loam and sharp orange citrus again. The finish continues with that sharp, slightly astringent peat note. It’s a hair too harsh and sharp, and I say this as a devoted fan of Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg, etc.

Nice review. By coincidence I had this just after Ledaig 10 and they are fairly similar I thought.
