And The Sherry One is no exception. For those peat-heads who like their whiskies smoky, hold on to your hats because the barley is peated to approximately 3x Lagavulin levels (equal to a spirit 35 ppm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mega smoke-bomb is likely matching Ardbeg Supernova in its barley ppm and only a puff less than everybody’s favourite, Octomore (120+ ppm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theglenallachie.com\/billy-walker-master-distiller\/\"\u003eWhisky Hall of Famer\u003c\/a\u003e and Master Blender Billy Walker has used those 50 years of whiskymaking experience under his belt to create a peated spirit that plays perfectly with its full, five-year Sherry maturation of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe peat itself is from mainland peat bog, St Fergus. The matter of woody material within this bog is especially high so provides a richness of lignin derivatives; in layman’s terms, this peat bog is higher in phenols than most, lending a direct intensity of smoke to the whisky. Coupled with Meikle Tòir’s lengthy 160 hour fermentation period, then delivered at 48% ABV – natural in colour and non-chill filtered, of course – it’s like sipping a bonfire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor those not too familiar with peated measurements, ppm is the total phenol parts per million of the malted barley which is is one of the malting specifications adjusted by the head distiller. As a purely peat-dedicated project, the peat in Meikle Tòir is measured in a unique way, as devised by AnCnoc distillery: rather than measuring the ppm through the barley malt as is traditional, they instead measure the spirit itself. As the phenols change through the mashing, fermentation and maturation process, Meikle Tòir are committed to measuring peat at the spirit level, providing a truer and authentic quantifier for whisky lovers to gauge what they’re drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe launched this smoking beauty last in April 2024 exclusively to Aussie Members, and we’re so keen to be bringing it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Octomores are starting at $250+ and the Ardbeg Supernova range starts at $300+, Club Members can get themselves a bottle of \u003cstrong\u003eMeikle Tòir The Sherry One\u003c\/strong\u003e for just $115.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeikle Tòir is an annual, limited run so you’ll need to jump in quick to get your hands on this peaty single malt – available to Club Members from Friday 6th February.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot yet a Member?
