Torabhaig Allt Gleann - The Legacy Series Whisky 70cl

I am a die hard Islay man...so lets get that out there...but..this has absolutely piled in and jumped alongside the best of Islay!! what a great turnout and what a touch from the team at this new distillery! light, peaty but not smack in face, fresh and just hugs you like a friend...cant wait to try the cask strength next!! i am getting a few of these in first...love it

Nothing surprising really, a rather strong "peatyness", surely enhanced by the young age, with nice salty finish. Great with a drop or two of water to ease the character.

Agree with other negative reviews. Harsh, immature and medicinal with little to like from start to finish. So many better drama there with pedigree to match the marketing hype.

I’ve just visited the Torabhaig distillery and can tell you it is well set up in a perfect location , at the confluence of two burns. I tasted this the second release . The Allt Gleann , and for all it’s a young malt it has character- lightly peated but creamy vanilla with a hint of sea salt . I look forward to their next release in 2024 , Legacy 2.

It would be ok if the finish didn't taste like the smell of TCP

If you like peat, it’s pretty decent but a bit underwhelming at first. Grows on you though.

I'm really not sure where all of these glowing reviews have came from.

Considering its age (3 years I think) it's a pretty decent dram.

Given its price, it's so far off! It has sweet notes, some complexity, but all of the harsh flavour you expect from a young malt. The initial flavour is not good and totally overwhelming.

It's certainly not bad, but it's not worth half of its price. I'm looking forward to their age statement release.

For now, pass on this and get a bottle of Tobermory if you want a well rounded un-peated island whisky
Of course there is always the Talisker distillery, who for now at least are putting out much better stuff.

Lovely dram. I drink and try a lot of whisky and am a bit of a peat head. This is quite peaty but has other flavours too. I don't believe in naming flavours that really don't exist in whisky just because we don't have the words to describe the actual flavours in a good dram. This is easy to drink but has a complexity to savour. Try it!

Absolutely superb dram! This bodes well for the future of this young distillery. An extremely characterful and evocative, maritime whisky!

Salty & peaty is the main event that are married together so well, this expression is just moreish with a nose that is intoxicating and addicts.
I think this is one that should always be in the malt vault.
