Meikle Toir, pronounced 'mee-kuhl tor', is an exceptional new peated single malt whisky from The GlenAllachie Distillery, marking a significant milestone for this renowned Speyside distillery. This whisky is crafted using mainland turf from St. Fergus in Aberdeenshire, known for imparting deeply smoky, earthy, and spicy flavor characteristics. Undergoing a prolonged fermentation period of 160 hours—nearly three times the industry standard—Meikle Toir develops a fruity and estery character. Distilled and matured for five years, the whisky's first maturation occurs in American oak bourbon barrels, followed by a secondary maturation in virgin Chinquapin oak casks sourced from the Northern Ozark region of Missouri, USA. These unique casks contribute layers of milk chocolate, charred hazelnut, toasted cinnamon, and burnt molasses to the whisky. The Chinquapin One is a prominent part of Meikle Toir's core range and is the first release since The GlenAllachie distillery's takeover in 2017. This allowed Master Distiller Billy Walker and his team to have complete control over the distillation and maturation processes. Bottled at 48% ABV, this whisky is non-chill filtered and contains no added color, preserving its natural integrity. As a limited annual release, The Chinquapin One is distilled using barley peated with St. Fergus mainland peat and matured in top-quality Chinquapin virgin oak barrels from Missouri. The result is a complex, sweet, smoky whisky with notes of smoked spices and toasted nuts.
