The Torabhaig Legacy Series Chapter 4: Sound of Sleat continues the story of one of Scotland’s rising stars in whisky. Situated on the rugged Isle of Skye, Torabhaig Distillery brings a bold, modern take on traditional peated single malts, and with Sound of Sleat, they deliver their most refined chapter yet.
Named after the sea channel that separates Skye from the mainland, this expression is a tribute to the maritime landscape that shapes its character. Matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks, Sound of Sleat offers a beautiful harmony between coastal smoke, gentle sweetness, and oak-driven complexity.
On the nose, there’s a clean, structured peat, not overwhelming, but confident, accompanied by notes of vanilla, lemon peel, soft orchard fruits, and a hint of brine. The palate is rich and layered: salted caramel, honey-glazed oak, peppery spice and mineral earthiness. Everything is in balance, the hallmark of Torabhaig’s “Well-Tempered Peat” philosophy.
This release marks the final chapter in the Legacy Series before the distillery unveils its first 10-year-old core expression. As such, Sound of Sleat feels like both a culmination and a prelude, a must-have for collectors and fans of elegant peated whiskies.
Whether you’re already following Torabhaig’s journey or discovering it for the first time, this single malt is an invitation to explore the modern face of island whisky, shaped by tradition but unafraid to innovate.
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. Subtly 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.
