Description
A delicious project hailing from the home distillery of GlenAllachie, this peated Speyside single malt is one for the books.
Named ‘Meikle Toir’ (mee-kuhl tor) meaning ‘big pursuit’, this release is an exciting exploration of smoke and fermentation. Tapping into the ‘heart of the heart’ this liquid is crafted from the spirit cut of the distillate, meaning it has the highest phenol content. This liquid was then carefully laid down in Virgin oak casks and Oloroso hogsheads to mature, leading to a sweet, smoky and complex final release.
Bottled at 50% ABV, and 72PPM, you can expect a nose of Manuka honey, toasted caramel and smoked cedarwood, with butterscotch, treacle tart and spiced orange peel. On the palate, you’ll be greeted by heather honey, roasted hazelnuts and baking spices, followed by crystalised ginger, mocha and molasses, with smouldering oak, dark chocolate and warmed plum jam on finish.
