Looks to be T. cuzcoensis, or a cuzcoensoid in my opinion. I wouldn't call it a peruvianus.

That is also a cuzco. They have often been misidentified in the past as peruvianus, and sold by vendors as such. A general rule of thumb is that T. cuzcoensis has white spines that start greenish-yellow, and T. peruvianus has brown spines that start almost red.

Probably it is cuzcoensis some sort, similar cactus are usually old as peruvian torch.. I have read cuzcoensis should not have that bluish coloration on skin at all but spines are very similar to t. cuzcoensis of some sort.
Actually I have similar cactus plants but not so big. Sold as peruvian torch but I don't care much what they really are.
I have not find solid information around the world what cactus species is really peruvian torch but seems it's only a nickname for similar trichocereus cactus appearance in picture up there.
I have seen so much different "peruvian torch" trichocereus cactus around, some are spineless and some have very large spines.
But I don't stress much of what species my trichocereus plants really are. I see most trichocereus cacti got more similarities than difference to each others anyway.
