GlenAllachie Meikle Toir The Original

Introducing Meikle Tòir, The Original, a peated beauty from The GlenAllachie Distillery that’s set to revolutionise the world of whisky for both peat lovers and those just dipping their toes into the smoky side. This Speyside gem doesn’t pack the punch of an Islay peat bomb, but it does offer an elegant introduction to smoke, with a perfect balance of sweet peat and that signature GlenAllachie heather honey character. Crafted with care and cask-perfected, it spends its five years maturing in a mix of Bourbon, American virgin oak, and rye barrels. At 35ppm, it’s got enough smokiness to keep true peat enthusiasts happy, but with a sweetness that makes it an easy entry point for newcomers. Notes of baking spices, burnt honey, espresso, and a hint of butterscotch greet you on the nose, while the palate unfolds with rich chocolate, cinnamon, and oak-smoked sugar. It’s a whisky with depth, charm, and plenty of character – a serious contender for those in search of something a little different.
