Meikle Toir The Chinquapin 5 Year Old 48% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

Default Title InStock

"The Chinquapin cask itself has the aroma of old leather and cigar smoke, which works wonderfully well with the sweetness derived from the Bourbon casks – the combination of both casks complements our beautifully sweet peat character." - Lindsay Cormie, Warehouse Manager

Coming in at 35 PPM, Meikle Toir Chinquapin has a sweeter 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. 

Barrels: American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, followed by Chinquapin virgin oak barrels.

The GlenAllachie Distillery

Nestled at the foot of Ben Rinnes lies one of the best-kept secrets in Speyside: The GlenAllachie Distillery. 

Having been crowned winners of the Scottish Distillery of the Year award at the inaugural Scottish Whisky Awards 2019, the small team at GlenAllachie use their drive, passion and desire to create whiskies to be proud of.

The Making of Meikle Tòir

Meikle Tòir (mee-khul tor), meaning Big Pursuit, is The GlenAllachie Distillery’s journey into peated whisky.

The journey began back in 2018, one year after Master Distiller, Billy Walker, took over The GlenAllachie Distillery. From the start he knew he wanted to venture into peated whisky, and so began the process of producing smoky spirit for the first time in the distillery’s history.
