Product details
Meikle Toir 5 Year Old The Sherry One is a distinctive Speyside single malt from Meikle Tòir, crafted to showcase the harmony between fruit-forward character and rich sherry-cask maturation. Produced using mainland peat sourced from St. Fergus and a notably long fermentation period of 160 hours, this expression develops exceptional depth and complexity before maturing in a combination of American oak ex-Bourbon barrels and carefully selected Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a beautifully layered profile where vibrant orchard fruit, rich oak influence, and sweet sherry notes come together in remarkable balance. Despite its youthful age, The Sherry One delivers impressive richness, texture, and sophistication that highlight the innovative approach behind the Meikle Tòir range.
The aroma opens with cedarwood, mocha, butterscotch, orange peel, honey, and plum jam, creating an inviting and complex bouquet. On the palate, layers of dark chocolate, fig, treacle, burnt sugar, and rich coffee notes unfold alongside hints of honeyed sweetness and gentle earthy character. The finish is long, warming, and deeply satisfying, with lingering notes of dried fruit and oak spice. This Speyside single malt pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, grilled beef, aged cheeses, dark chocolate desserts, sticky toffee pudding, and dried fruit tarts. Its rich sherry influence and layered sweetness also complement hearty meals and special occasion dining.
