Meikle Toir The Sherry One

Guided by revered Master Distiller, Billy Walker, our team is on a ‘Meikle Tòir‘ (meaning ‘big pursuit’). The goal: to carefully craft and cask-perfect a peerless peated single malt at our Speyside home, The GlenAllachie Distillery.

Expertly matured in quality Pedro Ximénez & Oloroso Sherry puncheons, the casks have imparted rich, fruity notes that mingle harmoniously with warming wisps of peat smoke. Made using mainland peat from St. Fergus, the sweet phenolic content of the whisky amounts to 35 PPM. A lengthy fermentation period of 160 hours results in a fruit-forward spirit that lends itself perfectly to ageing in the finest Sherry oak.

Cedarwood, cigar box, butterscotch and mocha, with orange peel, honey and plum jam. Dark chocolate, smoked honey and mocha, with figs, treacle, burnt sugar and puffs of peat smoke.
