Meikle Toir 'The Sherry One' 5 years old 48%

Made from heavily peated barley (35ppm), the Meikle Toir (mee-kuhl tor) series from the GlenAllachie series introduces the distillery's new expressions, marrying together peated spirit and selected and intriguing combinations of casks. Originally matured in ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky was given a final maturation in ex-Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks. To taste, the wood delivers a treacle and chocolate flavour, giving way to fragrant cedarwood and richly smoked barley. There is a honeyed tone at the heart of each sip, with butterscotch, peat and mocha throughout.
