Glenallachie Distillery

Meikle Tòir The Sherry One 5 Years Old

ABV: 48% 70 cL

Meikle Toir is Gaelic for "Big pursuit", which is precisely why Glenallachie embarked on creating this collection. The goal: to carefully craft and cask-perfect a peerless peated single malt at 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.

Nose

Cedarwood and cigar box, alongside butterscotch, mocha and orange peel, with hints of honey and plum jam.

Palate

Rich dark chocolate, smoked honey and mocha, followed by fig syrup, treacle and burnt sugar, with puffs of peat smoke on the finish.

£47.99

Glenallachie Distillery was founded in 1967 by Mackinlay McPherson. It was the fourth distillery designed by William Delmé-Evans, the architect behind Macduff, Tullibardine and Jura. For many years, malt produced at Glenallachie was mainly used for blends, including as a part of Chivas Regal, with rare single malt releases. In 2017, it was purchased from the Chivas Bros. by Billie Walker, Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson. Shortly after, in 2019, Glenallachie won the Distillery of the Year, and many more awards followed, both for the Distillery and its bottlings.
Glenallachie is known for its rich, fruity, sherry cask-aged single malts and incredible blends.
