This latest bottling is the second of four expressions to be released in the Torabhaig Legacy Series, the first of which; Legacy Series 2017, launched back in February. Each release is said to capture a stage on the journey from inception and youth through to coming of age and full maturity.

These initial bottlings from Torabhaig, are said to represent an opportunity for distillery to develop its style and character, ahead of the release of its 10 Year Old, which is due to be released in 2028.

Torabhaig Distillery, is said to have developed a distinctive signature style described as “Well-Tempered Peat”, bringing a complexity of flavour and delivering a truly exceptional, balanced character to the whisky. This signature style creates the foundation for Torabhaig’s heritage and legacy to come.

Torabhaig Legacy Series - Allt Gleann, will be available from specialist retailers in July. RRP (tbc). There will also be further batches released throughout 2021 and 2022.
