TORABHAIG - Straight from the Cask - Allt Glean Batch Strength - 61.1%
Torabhaig Distillery is located in the village of Teangue, on the Sound of Sleat on the Isle of Skye , Scotland . It was created by Mossburn Distillers in January 2017, is one of Scotland's newest distilleries and is the second on the Isle of Skye. The distillery is established in an old abandoned farm from the 19th century , near the Allt Gleann stream, which was renovated over 4 years. The mash tun can brew 1.5 tonnes of malt and 8 Dougas pine fermentation tanks have been installed. Two copper pot stills named Sir Iain and Lady Noble are used to produce a peated distillate, one of the most phenolic in Scotland. Production is handled by a local team of nine distillers, many of whom are new to the industry. The distillates are aged in oak barrels, mostly in ex-bourbon barrels and occasionally in sherry hogsheads, French virgin oak barrels and other types of barrels.
Allt Gleann Batch Strength is made from Concerto variety barley. It was aged in first-fill Bourbon barrels (80%) and used whiskey barrels (20%). It is bottled cask strength at 61.1%.
