*Meikle Tòir Sherry One
Meikle Tòir The Sherry One is a peated whisky made at GlenAllachie Distillery using mainland peat from St. Fergus. The whisky was peated to 35ppm and benefited from a lengthy fermentation period of 160 hours to create a fruity, complex spirit that could stand up to ageing in sherry casks, which is exactly what it did. Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry puncheons, to be exact, following an initial maturation in American oak bourbon barrels. One for fans of smoke and sherry.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Meikle Toir begins its journey in the rugged landscapes of Scotland, where the finest barley is harvested and malted with precision. The whisky is then distilled in traditional copper pot stills, allowing for the development of complex flavors and aromas that are synonymous with the region’s distilling expertise.
What sets Meikle Toir apart is its unique aging process. Matured for five years in carefully selected oak casks, this whisky acquires depth and character like no other. But what truly elevates this expression is its final flourish – a finishing period in sherry casks. This distinctive touch imparts luscious notes of dried fruits, warm spices, and a subtle sweetness that lingers on the palate, creating a truly memorable tasting experience.
With a subtle hint of peat smoke weaving through its layers of flavor, Meikle Toir The Sherry One offers a harmonious balance of richness and refinement. Each sip reveals a symphony of flavors, from creamy toffee and dark chocolate to hints of brine and oak, culminating in a long, satisfying finish that leaves you yearning for more.
