Torabhaig Cnoc Na Moine Legacy 3
Inspired by the spectacularly rugged coastline on which our distillery sits on the Isle of Skye, we tame heavily peated grains to produce an elegantly rugged dram that balances strength with refinement to accentuate the floral, fragrant character of our whisky. Cnoc Na Mòine is aged in Bourbon, American Oak Oloroso, and Pedro Ximenez Casks. The sherry casks in this new release lend a sweeter, richer flavour and a darker colour The name Cnoc Na Mòine translates as ‘hill of peat’ and is geographically located in Knoydart, which can be seen across the Sound of Sleat from the distillery.
TASTING NOTE
NOSE: Slightly subdued peat smoke backed by hints of orange peel, tangy fruit, and a whiff of dying embers. A touch of vanilla sweetness, and some freshly sawn oaky spice PALATE: Peat returns on the palate with more of a BBQ note, before the spirit brings in some pepper, a light balsamic acidity and more sweetness and gentle spice. Fragrant touches of cedar and leather, with the sherry casks adding some depth FINISH: The sherry influences are a wonderful light touch, showing themselves in harmonious balance with Torabhaig’s integrated peat and spice structure which shines through

Balblair 15 Y
Tropical and mature, with the texture of melted chocolate and one of the finest finishes a single malt can bring, this stunning whisky calls for quiet admiration. Round and velvety, yet developed and fresh. Smoothed over by time, but with a beating heart
Cu Bocan 12Y - Batch 1
Cù Bòcan 12 Year Old transports us to long Scottish summer nights, spent with friends by a campfire on the beach.
Cù Bòcan is Finished in Caribbean rum casks.

TASTING NOTES
Nose: Very pronounced on ashes, caramel, grilled meat and hints of smouldering tobacco
Palate: First very smoky, very opulent, then more peaty and balanced and greedy. There are also vegetal notes of oregano, thyme, rosemary, strong flavours of dried straw and toasted malt.
Finish: Ashy and greedy. It is reminiscent of a campfire on which a nice piece of meat has been grilled.
