Winemaking notes
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.
Viticultural notes
Taking ‘the heart of the heart’ of our distillate – the spirit cut which contains the highest phenol content – ‘The Turbo’ entails an amplified smoky identity. Deploying mainland peat and a lengthy fermentation period, the whisky boasts full-bodied character. The 2023 Release is a combination of three American virgin oak casks and five Oloroso hogsheads. The result is a multi-faceted whisky with a powerful punch of peat, hitting a hefty 71 PPM
Tasting notes
Manuka honey, worn leather and chocolate, with toasted hazelnut, sultanas and burnt orange peel. Intense peat, honey and mocha, followed by smoked spices, roasted chestnuts and charred oak.
