Portrait: What makes the Meikle Toir 6 year old - 2019/2025 Peated Oloroso Sherry Cask #8723 special

Anyone who thinks that only gentle angels float from distillery to distillery in Speyside has probably never heard of the Meikle Tòir 6 Year Old - 2019/2025 Peated Oloroso Sherry Cask #8723. This single cask does exactly what the Meikle Tòir brand stands for: pushing Speyside a little out of its comfort zone - with plenty of smoke, a touch of rebellion, and a large dose of passion from GlenAllachie.

Behind it all is none other than Billy Walker, the Scottish answer to MacGyver, only with whisky casks instead of toolboxes. Since taking over the GlenAllachie Distillery in 2017, he has been building a peated line under the Meikle Tòir label, proving that smoke in Speyside is not only permitted but absolutely welcome. Walker combines careful peating strategies, long fermentations, and meticulous cask work to create whiskies with character—the kind that doesn't just quietly say "hello," but rather affectionately, "Sit down, we need to talk." The cask presented here, #8723, was distilled on June 14, 2019, and matured for six years in an Oloroso sherry hogshead. In September 2025, it was finally ready. Matured. Ready to make the world—or at least Germany—a little smokier. Because this bottling was produced exclusively for Germany. And because true single-cask personalities are rarely sociable, the cask yielded just 357 bottles. That was simply the maximum possible. At 60.3% ABV cask strength, naturally uncolored and non-chill filtered, this whisky presents itself as unadorned as a Highlander in the early morning – only considerably more appealing. An honest Speyside character with a peaty soul, proving that Meikle Tòir is here to stay. And perhaps a little bit to surprise.

So, if you're looking for a piece of GlenAllachie history – limited, unique, and with a smoky wink – this single cask is the perfect choice.

• Nose: The aroma of mocha rises first to the nose, accompanied by candied ginger and a hint of grilled honeycomb. Beneath this, smoldering impressions of hot coals mingle with smoky orchard fruits. Dried plums round off the complex, warm, and smoky profile.
• Palate: On the palate, dark chocolate presents itself together with spicy, warm baking spices and a touch of heather honey. Then mocha and a distinctive note of chili jam emerge, complemented by a delicate hint of fresh orange zest.
• Finish: The aftertaste reveals scorched leather that slowly transitions into the sweetness of caramelized apple – long, intense, and pleasantly warming.
