Meikle Tòir, which means 'great aspiration', represents the seasonal production of peated whisky that Billy Walker and his team at GlenAllachie began in 2018. Using continental peat from St Fergus, around 100,000 liters of spirit are produced in around six weeks a year. Meikle Tòir production begins with a long fermentation period of 160 hours - almost three times the industry average - and produces a fruity, ester-rich whisky.

Nose: A fresh sea breeze with salty notes leads the way, followed by soft medicinal peat smoke. Underneath lie hints of lemon zest, roasted almonds and a touch of wet stone.
Mouth: Full-bodied and powerful with a rich, oily texture. Smoke and sweet vanilla are beautifully balanced by roasted malt, black pepper and a hint of citrus fruit. A touch of menthol adds a refreshing twist.
Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, subtle spice and a mineral, slightly bitter edge that fades gracefully.
Nose : Crisp orchard fruits, green pear, apple skin, vanilla cream, and fresh-cut grass. Hints of citrus zest and soft malt biscuits emerge with air.
Palate : Bright, clean, and lively. Notes of lemon peel, sweet malt, soft honey, white grapes, and light floral tones. A touch of white pepper and oak spice adds complexity, while the youthful vibrancy remains intact.
Finish : Medium-long with lingering citrus, soft herbal notes, and gentle sweetness. Light, fresh, and beautifully Speyside.
Nose: Leather, plums, currants and barley malt followed by burnt oak and notes of cinnamon, green apple and black pepper. Smoke, discreet at first, is lifted by aromas of red fruits, creamy briar porridge and a touch of pipe tobacco.
Mouth: European oak is clearly perceptible. Dry and spicy, it offers notes of burnt oak and roasted coffee beans. A sweetness close to candied and dried fruit cake, a hint of black pepper. With a little water, the smoke and fruity cask sweetness intensify, bringing out notes of Apples and pears.
Finish: Smoky malt, glowing charcoal, sea salt and earthy smoke.
