Independent Speyside distillery, The GlenAllachie, has launched its first-ever single cask additions to the Meikle Tòir range of peated single malts: a distillery-exclusive 2018 Pedro Ximénez Sherry Hogshead and an online-exclusive 2019 Oloroso Sherry Hogshead.
Selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker, these unique casks are bottled at cask strength, showcasing the distillery’s bold peated spirit enriched by sherry maturation.
“When selecting our first Meikle Tòir single casks, I was looking for whiskies that truly captured the bold, smoky character that defines the range, with added depth and complexity from exceptional sherry cask maturation. These two casks stood out to me straight away. Both are a real reflection of the signature peated style we’ve been evolving at the distillery: full of robust sherry character, yet still true to sweet and smoky mainland spirit of Meikle Tòir. We have bottled them at natural strength, so what you’re tasting is as close as it gets to sampling straight from the cask. No fuss – just great, honest whisky,” said Billy Walker
Each release is priced at £75.99, with only 355 and 357 bottles available, respectively. Both expressions are non-chill filtered and the 2018 Pedro Ximénez Sherry Hogshead is bottled at 59.9% ABV with a peat level of 44PPM while the 2019 Oloroso Hogshead is bottled at 60.5% ABV with a peat level of 47PPM.
