Meikle Tòir The Original 5 year old, 50%

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

Showing vigorous peat smoke up front, this is pleasantly nutty on the nose, with well-roasted spices, iodine, ozone, and butterscotch sauce. Not too sweet on the tongue; there are initial flavors of melon, pear, spiced apple, honey, chocolate brownie, and cinnamon, which are torn asunder by the dominant flavor of fresh ginger root, accompanied by vegetal notes and fresh oak, leaving a lingering finish of peat smoke and chocolate brownie.
