The Meikle Toir Collection, 4 Bottles in this set. The Original, The Sherry One, The Chinquapin One and the Turbo.
THE ORIGINAL 5 YEAR OLD : The Original classic single malt that truly champions the peated pursuit. Made with mainland peat from St. Fergus, the flavour contribution is sweeter than that anticipated of coastal peat.
NOSE: Baking spices, burnt honey and espresso, with hazelnuts, smoked almonds and butterscotch.
TASTE: Sweet peat, rich chocolate and heather honey, with cinnamon, ginger and oak-smoked sugar.
THE SHERRY ONE 5 YEARS OLD : 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, cigar box, butterscotch and mocha, with orange peel, honey and plum jam.
Taste: Dark chocolate, smoked honey and mocha, with figs, treacle, burnt sugar and puffs of peat smoke.
THE CHINQUAPIN ONE: Coming in at 35 PPM, the whisky has a sweeter style of smoke character owing to the mainland peat from St. Fergus used to kiln the barley. After a lengthy 160-hour fermentation, the whisky has a complex character which stands up well to ageing in virgin oak casks.
Nose: Smoldering oak embers, burnt liquorice and honey, with ginger, butterscotch and orange peel.
Taste: Cocoa, crème brûlée and toasted almonds, with cinnamon, aniseed and campfire smoke.
THE TURBO: Taking the ‘heart of the heart’ of Meikle Toir distillate – the spirit cut which contains the highest phenol content – ‘The Turbo’ entails and amplifies this smoky identity. The whisky is rated at 71 PPM (wow).
The 2023 Release is a combination of three American virgin oak casks and five Oloroso hogsheads. The result is a multi-faceted whisky with a powerful punch of peat.
Nose: Manuka honey, worn leather and chocolate, with toasted hazelnuts, sultanas and burnt orange peel.
Taste: Intense peat, honey and mocha, followed by smoked spices, roasted chestnuts and charred oak.
