Description

The Cnoc Na Moine is the highly anticipated third release in the Torabhaig Legacy Series.  Aged in a mixture of ex-Bourbon, American Oak Oloroso casks and also some Pedro Ximenez casks, this complex and expressive whisky helps to chart the progress and also journey that this new distillery are on.  Peaty yet not over the top, this is fabulous new release is well worth snapping up. 

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.
