Meikle Tòir 5 Year Old The Chinquapin One

Meikle Tòir 5 Year Old The Chinquapin One is a classic single malt whisky that is a true champion of peaty endeavor. The whisky with a concentration of 35 PPM has a sweeter smoky character thanks to the mainland St. Fergus peat used for malting the barley.
After a long 160-hour fermentation, the whisky has a complex character that ages well in virgin oak casks.

The whisky is produced at the GlenAllachie distillery in Speyside, Scotland. The creation of this whisky is overseen by Master Distiller Billy Walker. By using premium mainland peat, an oaky, sweet-smoky style is achieved, and through extended fermentation, meticulous distillation, and expert maturation, the spirit reaches its peak. After 5 years of patient slumber, the spirit in each cask must meet the strict standards set by Billy Walker and his team to be bottled.

Ex-bourbon casks made from American oak were used, followed by Chinquapin virgin oak casks. The bottles are filled at an alcohol content of 48% and come in gift boxes.

Scottish illustrator Iain McIntosh was commissioned to create a hand-drawn illustration that captures the beautiful yet rugged environment of northern Speyside. The central peak is inspired by Ben Rinnes - the highest peak in the area.

The carefully selected earthy color palette reflects the smoky flavor profile of the whisky and was inspired by the nature surrounding the GlenAllachie distillery: moss, oak, heather, and the sky.
