Meikle Toir 'The Original' 5 Year Old Peated Speyside Single Malt Whisky, 50.0%
A bold 5-year-old single malt that epitomises the Meikle Tòir passion for the peated pursuit.Â
This whisky stands out with its mainland peat from St. Fergus, delivering a sweeter and more subtle smokiness than the usual coastal peat. It's a complex, smoky delight that balances power with finesse.
The cask make-up includes first-fill Bourbon barrels, American virgin oak casks, and spicy Rye barrels, adding complexity and depth. With a phenol content of 35 PPM, the peat smoke dances beautifully with the rich flavours, creating a smooth and balanced experience. At 50% ABV, it’s a whisky that packs a punch yet remains perfectly refined.
Bottled at natural colour and non-chill filtered, The Original celebrates the purity of its ingredients and the craft behind it. Whether you're a peat lover or a whisky newcomer, this dram will take you on a journey of flavour that lingers long after the last sip.
Tasting Note: On the nose, it greets you with a symphony of baking spices, burnt honey, and espresso, followed by a rich medley of hazelnuts, smoked almonds, and luscious butterscotch. Take a sip, and the palate comes alive with layers of sweet peat, dark chocolate, and heather honey, underscored by the warming embrace of cinnamon, ginger, and oak-smoked sugar.
Meikle Tòir Warehouse Manager Lindsay Cormie's Tasting Note: "The virgin oak casks add a lovely layer of vanilla and toffee, while the Rye casks contribute a spicy kick, perfectly entwined with the sweet spiciness and peat smoke."
