Oh hello… A very exciting whisky drop for a Monday, in the form of the latest sensory story from the Isle of Skye based Torabhaig Distillery. Torabhaig Allt Gleann Batch Strength (61.1% ABV) is a peated single malt Scotch whisky, which was matured in a combination of American oak, first-fill Bourbon barrels and re-fill whisky barrels, for at least five years. This latest Allt Gleann bottling, completes the current chapter of the Torabhaig Legacy Series, which charts the journey and has been developing the distillery style and character, ahead of its 10 Year Old release in 2028. @torabhaig @BBCOMMS1 #Torabhaig #Scotch #Whisky
