I liked the Inaugural release enough, so decided I’d try the rest of what Torabhaig is calling The Legacy Series. This is the second release from them to receive meaningful distribution.
Minutia: Distilled in 2017 and 2018 and matured in 1st-fill ex-bourbon barrels and refill whisky barrels. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn.
Color: Pale straw; 0.2.
Nose: Musty smoke, vegetation. Kind of a medicinal/maritime combo, maybe like that hospital boat that came to NYC as more space early on in the pandemic that a bunch of people gathered to watch arrive.
Taste: Light, creamy, black and cayenne pepper. Ashy smoke. A touch of light fruit sweetness.
Finish: Warmer, toasty. Bigger smoke, in the ashy family.
A really nice expression from Torabhaig that keeps me excited for more from them and from the handful of distilleries that sound like they’ll make things I like that have either just started releasing whisky or haven’t aged any stock to release yet. And with that, I’ve finally finished my mad dash of typing a bunch of reviews and can finally get to the series I’ll be starting within the next couple hours.
Score: 85
Musical Evocation: Alghazanth – “As It Is Fated”
