Meikle Tòir The Sherry One
Meikle Tòir The Sherry One is a peated whisky made at GlenAllachie Distillery using mainland peat from St. Fergus. 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 by The Chaps at Master of Malt
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.
