Meikle Tòir, the peated whisky brand of Speyside’s GlenAllachie distillery, has announced The Turbo 2026, the fourth annual edition of a series launched in 2023. It is a five-year-old single malt with a peat level of 71 PPM, the highest in the Meikle Tòir range.
The peat comes from St Fergus in Aberdeenshire, and fermentation lasts 160 hours, almost three times the industry average. This edition uses virgin American oak casks alongside Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The whisky is bottled at 50% ABV, with natural colour and without chill filtration.
Because the edition is very limited, access is through an online ballot open from 2 to 4 November. Sales start on 5 November at the distillery and at specialist retailers in several countries, at a suggested price of £62.99. Master distiller Billy Walker calls it “incredibly limited”.
