Fill up your tasting glass and take your experience to the next level!
Meikle Tòir 5 Year Old The Sherry One is a classic single malt whisky that is a true champion of peaty endeavor. It is made from mainland peat from St. Fergus and the sweet phenol content in the whisky reaches 35 PPM. The result of a long 160-hour fermentation is a fruity distillate that is perfectly suited for aging in the finest Sherry oak wood.
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, a oaky, sweet-smoky style is achieved, and through extended fermentation, meticulous distillation, and expert aging, the distillate reaches its peak. After 5 years of patient resting, the distillate must meet strict standards set by Billy Walker and his team in each cask to make it into the bottle.
Used were ex-bourbon American oak casks and ex-sherry Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso. Bottles were 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.
