GlenAllachie Meikle Toir 5 Years The Sherry [700ML]

Description

What happens when mainland Scottish peat meets the rich embrace of Pedro Ximénez sherry casks?

GlenAllachie Meikle Tòir 5 Years The Sherry One represents a masterful balance between peated Speyside character and sherry cask maturation. This exceptional expression uses sweeter mainland peat from St. Fergus rather than traditional Islay peat, creating a more approachable smoke profile that complements its sherry influence beautifully. For comparison with other sherry-finished expressions, explore our Kavalan Oloroso Sherry Oak or the robust Aberlour A’bunadh Alba.
