GlenAllachie Meikle Tòir The Chinquapin One, 5 YO, 48%

A heavily peated (35 ppm), long fermentation (160 hours), GlenAllachie matured in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and fresh Chinquapin (Quercus Muehlenbergii) oak casks.

The GlenAllachie Meikle Tòir The Chinquapin One goes on sale in Norway next week at NOK 980 (18819901).

Nose: Rich and peaty with a lighter, sweeter touch. Notes of vanilla and dark chocolate milkshake lend a delightful, dessert-like character.

Taste: Full-bodied, creamy, and wonderfully rich with a balanced peatiness. A peppery kick rounds out the experience.

Finish: Medium, with lingering chocolate and refreshing peppermint mingling with the peat.

Comment: A playful and indulgent dram!

Score 87/100
