Meikle Toir (pronounced "mee-kuhl tor") is a remarkable peated single malt whisky originating from Speyside's GlenAllachie Distillery. This whisky represents a significant milestone for the distillery, capturing the essence of passion and craftsmanship in an outstanding Scottish single malt. Produced exclusively over six weeks each year, Meikle Toir harnesses mainland peat from St. Fergus in Aberdeenshire, distinguishing it from many other Scottish distilleries that rely on coastal peat. The whisky undergoes a long fermentation period of 160 hours, which enhances its fruity and estery character, elevating the overall flavor experience. The Meikle Toir core range is the first release entirely managed by the GlenAllachie team, including the renowned Master Distiller Billy Walker, since they took over the distillery in 2017. The peat used in the distillation process imparts unique flavor characteristics, from deeply smoky to earthy and spicy tones. This five-year-old single malt is meticulously produced at the GlenAllachie Distillery, matured in a combination of ex-Pedro Ximenez (PX) and ex-Oloroso sherry casks. The Meikle Toir The Sherry One boasts a sweet peat that perfectly complements aromas of raisin, dark chocolate, and stewed fruit. Expertly aged for 5 years in premium PX and Oloroso Sherry puncheons, this whisky reveals rich fruity notes that harmonize beautifully with warming wisps of peat smoke. Meikle Toir, meaning "Big Pursuit," is crafted with precision by Master Distiller Billy Walker at the GlenAllachie Distillery. This peated single malt delivers a sweet smoky style with a rich sherry character, a testament to its maturation in premium PX and Oloroso casks. Bottled at 48% ABV, without chill-filtration or added color, this is the inaugural batch of the Meikle Toir The Sherry One from GlenAllachie, with plans for an annual release.
