Torabhaig Legacy 2 Allt Gleann Single Malt  Other reviews… Fresh sea-blown peat on the nose, pine tar, sea salt, seaweed, dried seashells, and a tropical note of lime. Sweeter vanilla scents emerge, along with coconut, light nuttiness, and a hint of coffee. It’s peated but light and floral. The palate is honeyed, with vanilla, spice, dark chocolate, and lemon playing above beautifully integrated charcoal and peat. The mellow peat influence integrates beautifully into flavours that are dynamic, gorgeous, and memorable. 93 points  Editor’s Choice – whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: David Fleming 2021

…The aroma is again noticeably peat-driven but with less iodine and more ashy smoke, sweet and mildly barbecued. The fruit remains lurking underneath it all with the bananas having ripened somewhat and added to a lovely pudding, complete with Nilla Wafers. On the palate, that initial smoke is still well-restrained with subtle matchheads, kelp, and kippers that turns sweet and fruity rather quickly. Those elements still don’t come across as “legendary,” as the initial literature advertised, but there’s something impressively bold about them in such a youthful single malt. Notes of buttery banana tart, apple pie filling, and white peaches give a decadent dessert quality, if only briefly, to the mid-palate before the smoke arrives again on the finish and rolls somewhat abruptly over it all. Still impressive and showing tremendous promise. – drinkhacker.com

…The Torabhaig Legacy 2 Allt Gleann The Legacy Series is appealing and complex. Although a splash of water rounded the spiciness, I preferred the whisky neat. This would be an excellent peated whisky for those that prefer to avoid some of the harsher, industrial, and more confounding characteristics of peat. This is a distillery to watch. Mark your calendar for their first ten-year single malt being released in 2028. – thewhiskeywash.com
