Torabhaig Distillery Reserve - Hebridean Whisky Festival Rye Cask Finish
Please find full tasting notes here.
Our latest Distillery Reserve release represents another exciting chapter in Torabhaig’s journey of whisky exploration. This is our first-ever Rye Cask Finish expression, offering a unique glimpse into the world of The Reivers Distillery, our sister distillery in the Scottish Lowlands.
This single malt whisky was distilled in January 2019, aged in a mix of first-fill and refill Bourbon barrels, and finished in Rye Whisky Casks from The Reivers Distillery. Bottled at batch strength, it showcases the complexity of Torabhaig’s well-tempered peat style, complemented by the spicy character imparted by the Rye Casks.
Crafted using Concerto malted barley, with an in-grain phenols level of 80PPM, and fermented with Pinnacle MG+ yeast, this release is bottled without chill filtration or colouring, preserving its natural depth and character. The residual phenols level of 33.4PPM reflects sits in perfect harmony with the elegant complexities of this whisky.
Limited to just 980 bottles, this Distillery Reserve is a must-have for collectors and whisky lovers seeking something truly special.
NOSE: The immediate note is a strong freshly lit bonfire smoke followed by a heavy pepper/rye warmth spice. There is toffee apple sticky sweetness layered with sweet caramel. There are undertones of citrus sweetness,
salty sea air and a grassy/fresh hay notes.
PALATE: There is a heavy cereal note behind the slightly softened peat warmth with earthy characteristics. A candied sweetness comes through with a subtle hint of vanilla and butterscotch. There are hints of menthol spice, which is predominant at the front of the mouth.
FINISH: The finish is sweet almond/marzipan with a pleasant peat smoke spice. The finish lingers more at the front of the mouth, which is unusual compared to the traditional Torabhaig, which tends to be dominant at the back.
