Meikle Tòir The Chinquapin One 5 year old, 48%

Price: 75 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Comforting smoke envelops the nose, with early notes of creosote, wooden fish boxes, and iodine, followed by vanilla sponge, honey, wood spice, toasted oak, crystallized ginger, and a light dusting of cinnamon. The palate brings dried cherry, milk chocolate, burnt sugar, toasted flaked almonds, espresso, aniseed balls, clove, and forest honey, with a lengthy finish of granola and roasted spices.
