GlenAllachie Meikle Toir 5 Years The Sherry [700ML]

Description

Looking for a peated whisky that balances smoke with the richness of sherry cask maturation?

As a certified spirits specialist, I’m thrilled to present the GlenAllachie Meikle Toir 5 Years The Sherry, a remarkable expression that showcases heavily peated malts married with luscious sherry cask influence. This Premium offering represents Billy Walker’s masterful blending expertise, combining robust smoke with fruity complexity—a rare find at this price point. Unlike the unpeated GlenAllachie 10 Years, the Meikle Toir series delivers intense peat character while maintaining GlenAllachie’s signature sherry sweetness. For those exploring the distillery’s range, this contrasts beautifully with the elegant GlenAllachie 12 Years.

• Distillery: GlenAllachie – established 1967, revitalized under independent ownership since 2017
• Region: Speyside – renowned for balanced, fruit-forward character now enhanced with coastal peat
• ABV: 40% – approachable strength allowing smoke and sherry notes to harmonize without overwhelming
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 5 years in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks after peated malt fermentation
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals bonfire smoke layered with dark chocolate and raisins; palate delivers sweet peat smoke, honeyed dates, charred orange peel; finish lingers with warming spice and coastal brine
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass; add a splash of water to release additional fruit complexity

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression offers exceptional value for peated whisky enthusiasts, delivering complexity typically found in older, pricier bottlings. The sherry cask influence softens the peat smoke beautifully, creating approachable yet sophisticated depth.
