DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
• Peated Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced by The GlenAllachie Distillery in Aberlour • 100% malted barley peated with mainland peat from St. Fergus, one mile from the North Sea coast (final spirit ppm of 35) • 160-hour fermentation in stainless steel washbacks • Twice distilled in copper pot stills • Aged a total of 5 years in ex-bourbon barrels followed by chinquapin virgin oak barrels sourced from the Northern Ozarks in Missouri • Aromas of carnitas, banana pudding, and tobacco leaf continue to the palate and are joined by cinnamon, sweet BBQ sauce, and cornbread with honey. A spike of campfire peat on the mid-palate is complemented by a finish of fresh green apple. • No added coloring • Non-chill filtered; 48% ABV Chinquapin white oak (Quercus muehlenbergii) sourced from Missouri’s Northern Ozarks has a long history in American cooperage but has only recently begun to receive attention as a distinct choice in maturation. With a slightly richer, nuttier character than its Quercus Alba cousin, virgin chinquapin here adds a compelling aspect of savory spice to Meikle Tòir’s core peated profile. The result nostalgically calls to mind summer slow cooks and open fires.
