Regular price $95.00
Purchase Limit - one per household
Carefully crafted and cask-perfected at the GlenAllachie Distillery in Speyside, Meikle Toir peated single malt serves up a sweet smoke style impeccably balanced with the classically honeyed character of their distillate.
This absolute banger of a whisky shows off the smoke, cask influence and spirit character in perfect harmony.
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 aging in American Chinquapin virgin oak casks.
Distillery Tasting Notes:
