Meikle Toir The Original 5 Year Old 50% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
"The toast level of the virgin oak casks will add a lovely layer of vanilla and toffee flavours which, when intwined with the spicy contribution from the Rye casks, will give the perfect balance of sweet spiciness and peat smoke." - Lindsay Cormie, Warehouse Manager
‘The Original’ Meikle Toir is a classic single malt that truly champions the distillery's peated pursuit. Made with mainland peat from St. Fergus, the flavour contribution is sweeter than that anticipated of coastal peat.
Casks: First-fill Bourbon barrels, American virgin oak casks and Rye barrels.

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.
