Portrait: What the Meikle Tòir 5 year old - The Chinquapin One.
Industry veteran Billy Walker and The GlenAllachie are pursuing an ambitious goal: to create peated Speyside Single Malt that is second to none. Meikle Tòir (pronounced “Mee-kuhl Tor”) is the name for the new brand: Gaelic for “big pursuit”, which is loosely translated as one big mission.
The independent distillery has been working on the smoky style that is rare for the whiskey region since 2018. Albeit on a small scale: only for Around 100,000 liters of peated raw spirit are distilled six weeks per calendar year. The barley malt is kilned over mainland peat from St. Fergus, which, compared to island peat, ensures sweeter smoke with oak tones. It is used in a moist state - for maximum aromas and a peat content of the whisky of currently up to 71 ppm (in barley malt up to 95 ppm).
After 5 years of maturation The first results will come onto the market in September 2023.
Meikle Tòir 5 year old - The Chinquapin One matured in exBourbon barrels and in fresh oak barrels from Missouri. The single malt delivers robust notes of sweet spices and roasted nuts in harmony with peat smoke.
