Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 50%
Meikle Toir Original 5-year-old was released late in 2023 as the core expression of the new peated single malt range from Billy Walker's Glenallachie distillery. Meikle Toir Original has a spirit peat level around 35ppm and is bottled at 50% without colouring or chill filtration after maturing in a mix of first fill bourbon, virgin oak and rye barrels.
Meikle Toir is not the first peated Speyside single malt whisky, of course - rather, it represents something of a return to tradition, harking back to a time when most of Scotland's whisky would have made with barley dried over peat fires. Meikle Toir translates as 'big journey', and this back to the future style of whisky looks like the right sort of innovation to us.

This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
