Welcome to the Sound of Sleat
Behind the Torabhaig distillery is the Sound of Sleat. A narrow, powerful strip of sea dividing Skye and the mainland. Called Minne Shleite in Gaelic. And what we’ve called our next release. It is the fourth chapter of our Legacy Series, documenting the evolution of our Torabhaig ‘house style’ which culminates in the release of our first aged whisky, our 10-year-old.

The Whisky
We love exploring subtle flavours of peat inspired by our beautiful surroundings and thriving community. We create elegant smoke flavours - a house style called ‘smoke with taste’.
This single malt whisky is made using a mix of concerto and laureate malted barely with an in-gran phenol level of 78+ PPM and in-glass Phenols level of 14.5 PPM. It is fermented with pinnacle MG+ year and aged solely in Quercus Alba American Oak. It is bottles at 46% with not chill-filtration colouring.
Nose: Notes of delicate orange lead followed by touches of apricot and popcorn lending sweetness to the maritime seaweed that echoes in the glass. Subtle pipe tobacco adds to the elegant smokiness and is rounded out by honey, vanilla and boiled sweets.
Palate: Light and zesty oak spice is joined by the rich and sweet bonfire smokiness that is so unmistakably Torabhaig spirit. Subtley waxy with hints of honey and vanilla balancing sea salt and seaweed that ebbs away to white pepper and sweet spice.
Finish : Like a sunset over the Sound of Sleat, this is lingering and elegant with notes of honey, storms and the ocean.
