The Meikle Tòir – The Chinquapin One is a peated single malt, carefully crafted and refined in virgin Chinquapin oak casks sourced from the Northern Ozarks, USA. This whisky delivers notes of soft spices and roasted nuts, harmoniously combined with a gentler peaty smoke, derived from the St. Fergus mainland peat. With an extended fermentation of 160 hours and a smoke profile measured at 35 PPM, this single malt reveals a complexity that perfectly complements maturation in virgin oak casks.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: Aromas open with smoldering oak embers and burnt licorice, enriched with sweet notes of honey, ginger, butter caramel, and orange peel.
PALATE: A gourmet experience blending cocoa, crème brûlée, and roasted almonds, enhanced by hints of cinnamon, star anise, and a subtle campfire smoke.
FINISH: Persistent, with a spicy warmth that slowly softens into notes of grilled wood and subtle smoke.
