Meikle Toir 'The Original' 50%ABV 30ml

Meikle Toir is the brand name of peated Glenallachie and is a passion project of Master Distiller Billy Walker who started the project after he bought Glenallachie. in fact in Gaelic Meikle Toir means 'Big Pursuit' - or life mission, something you strive for, the ultimate goal of your life. Billy Walker is a famous blender of heavy sherry unpeated whisky mostly because he ran Glendronach for many years but his dream to to create a new peated malt. Since he bought the distillery he has been distilling peated malt for 6 weeks every year before the annual close down and finally it has arrived with 3 core range whiskies and an annual limited release at a higher ABV called Turbo - it sold out in Europe in minutes.

Meikle Tòir – The Original is the flagship of the range. Aged in Bourbon and Rye Barrels and American Virgin Oak, it clocks in at 35 ppm and a complex profile of baking spices, toasted honey and sweet peat smoke .
