With only 2,200 bottles available, this release is set to be a coveted collector’s item.
Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Flavors
The GlenAllachie Meikle Tòir The Turbo 2024 Edition promises a sensory journey like no other:
- Nose: The aroma is a captivating blend of smoked blood orange, cinnamon spice, and manuka honey, intertwined with rich dark chocolate and roasted hazelnuts.
- Palate: On the palate, it unfolds layers of worn leather, baking spices, and cigar box notes, followed by a delightful mix of honey, hazelnuts, and dried red berries. The finish is marked by burnt orange peel and a hint of salted caramel, creating a harmonious balance of sweet and savory.
The Essence of Mainland Peat
Sourced from St. Fergus, mainland peat is integral to the Meikle Tòir series, lending a distinctive smoky character to the whisky. The peated production at GlenAllachie runs for approximately six weeks each year, yielding around 100,000 liters of alcohol annually. This meticulous process ensures that each bottle of Meikle Tòir The Turbo captures the essence of traditional peated whisky, enhanced by GlenAllachie’s innovative approach to cask selection and maturation.
