Meikle Tòir The Sherry One is a peated whisky made at GlenAllachie Distillery using mainland peat from St. Fergus.
"The Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry puncheons work in perfect harmony to offer chocolate, dark fruit and coffee characteristics. When combined with the sweet smokiness of the mainland peat, the flavours dance together beautifully, creating a wonderful equilibrium of sweet and peat.", BILLY WALKER, MASTER DISTILLER
The whisky was peated to 35ppm and benefited from a lengthy fermentation period of 160 hours to create a fruity, complex spirit that could stand up to ageing in sherry casks, which is exactly what it did. Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry puncheons, to be exact, following an initial maturation in American oak bourbon barrels. One for fans of smoke and sherry.
Tasting Note
Nose Coffee, cedar, salted caramel, stewed plums, marmalade, and cigar box aromas join the sweet smokiness of the mainland peat.
Palate Dark chocolate, butterscotch, orange peel, dates, blackcurrant compote, and burnt treacle.
Finish Mocha and dark fruit.
