Introducing Meikle Tòir: The Newest Peated Whisky Sensation from GlenAllachie Distillery

In the world of whisky aficionados, there’s a new kid on the block that’s already making waves: Meikle Tòir. Pronounced mee-kuhl tor, this small-batch peated whisky brand is the brainchild of none other than Master Distiller Billy Walker, the visionary behind The GlenAllachie Distillery.

A Journey of Innovation

The GlenAllachie Distillery, nestled in the heart of Speyside since 1967, has long been known for its premium blends. However, it wasn’t until Walker, along with his partners Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson, took over in 2017 that the distillery began its transformation.

Walker’s extensive experience, including a BSC Honours Degree in Chemistry and a legendary career spanning iconic whisky brands, positioned him as the perfect leader for this new era. His vision? To diversify expressions and explore the potential of the distillery’s resources, including its water source and the availability of mainland peat.

Thus, Meikle Tòir was born—a testament to Walker’s dedication to pushing boundaries and exploring new horizons in whisky making.

Crafted for Perfection

Meikle Tòir is more than just a whisky—it’s a pursuit of perfection. Crafted using premium mainland peat and fermented for an extended period of 160 hours, each expression undergoes meticulous scrutiny to ensure only the finest spirits make it into the bottle.
