A richly indulgent 5-Year-Old single malt that showcases the artistry of whisky-making.
Crafted with mainland peat from St. Fergus, this whisky carries a sweet, smoky essence with a phenolic content of 35 PPM. The extended 160-hour fermentation process gives the spirit a luscious, fruit-forward character that matures beautifully in carefully selected Sherry oak casks.
Matured first in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels before being finished in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry puncheons, this whisky is a masterclass in balance. The sherry casks lend decadent notes of chocolate, dark fruits, and coffee, while the sweet smokiness from the peat ties everything together seamlessly. Bottled at 48% ABV, it’s a bold dram that still carries finesse, with natural colour and no chill filtration, ensuring a pure and authentic taste.
Tasting Note:On the nose, The Sherry One entices with notes of cedarwood, cigar box, and butterscotch, mingling with hints of mocha, orange peel, honey, and a dollop of plum jam. The palate is equally inviting, delivering layers of dark chocolate, smoked honey, and rich mocha, alongside figs, treacle, and burnt sugar. As you sip, delicate puffs of peat smoke weave through these flavours, creating a truly mesmerising experience.
Meikle Tòir Master Distiller Billy Walker's Tasting Note: "The Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry puncheons work in perfect harmony, bringing chocolate, dark fruit, and coffee characteristics. Paired with the sweet smokiness of mainland peat, the flavours dance beautifully together, creating a wonderful equilibrium of sweet and peat."
