Same island (Skye), both NAS, same maritime slightly peated styleโฆ but Torabhaig makes it more honest and interesting.
Sound of Sleat is in fact bottled at a higher strength (46%), with no chill filtration and no caramel colouring, so what you get is a clearer expression of peat, smoke, coastal minerality and a nice sweetness of pastry and custard. Far more engaging and satisfying.

Macallan 12 is iconic, but itโs more about brand than substance. GlenAllachie 12, under Billy Walker, delivers a richer and more character-driven sherry profile: deeper spice, darker chocolate, and a more layered cask influence.
Itโs also bottled at 46%, non-chill filtered, and without added colour: meaning youโre getting texture, weight, and authenticity. All of this for nearly half the price of a Macallan 12.

A blended Scotch whisky, just like Red Label, but bottled at a higher strength (50%) and packed with rich malt character. Black Bull delivers notes of honey, orchard fruits, vanilla and gentle spice, with far more depth and texture. A bolder, more rewarding dram for anyone ready to move beyond entry-level blends.
