Meikle Tòir - 5 years - The Original - 50%
The GlenAllachie is located in Aberlour, in the Speyside region of Scotland . It was built in 1967 and the distillery began its first production with a production capacity of almost three million liters of alcohol in February 1968. In 1985, the distillery was mothballed. Campbell Distillers (later part of Pernod Ricard) acquired the GlenAllachie distillery and production resumed on April 24; this was the start of 29 years of uninterrupted production. The distillery was then named The Home of Clan Campbell Whiskey. In 2005, Chivas Brothers released a GlenAllachie Single Malt whiskey as part of the Cask Edition series. Since 2017, Billy Walker, Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson have come together to acquire the GlenAllachie Distillery and form The GlenAllachie Distillers Company Limited, bringing with them over 100 years of industry knowledge and expertise.
In 2018, the distillery decided to produce peated whiskeys for the first time. The Meikle Tòir range is marketed in 2023, after 5 years of maturation in carefully selected barrels.
The Original is aged in first-fill Bourbon barrels, virgin American oak barrels and barrels that contained rye whiskey . This Single Malt is peated with continental peat from Saint Fergus (Aberdeenshire) used to dry barley, giving it a softer smoky style.
