Meikle Toir The Turbo 5 Year Old
Meikle Tòir – The Turbo 5 Year Old is the most intense expression in The GlenAllachie’s heavily peated range under Billy Walker. Crafted using malt peated to extreme levels (around 80 ppm or higher), The Turbo amplifies the smoky core of the Meikle Tòir series. Aged for five years in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and virgin American oak, this whisky delivers explosive peat smoke, charred oak, sweet malt, and lively spice.
Bottled at a robust 50% ABV, natural colour and non-chill filtered, The Turbo is unapologetically bold — a smoky powerhouse designed for fans of extreme peat and modern Speyside innovation.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Intense peat smoke, hot embers, charcoal, vanilla pod, citrus zest, smoked honey, and toasted oak.
Palate: Thick, powerful, and smoky with waves of peat, charred oak, sweet vanilla, smoked malt, grilled lemon, pepper, and toffee. The virgin oak adds spicy brightness and structure.
Finish: Long, fiery, and smoky with lingering peat embers, vanilla, warm spice, and oak tannins.
Why The Turbo Stands Out

- Bottled at 50% for maximum intensity
- Matured in ex-bourbon & virgin oak casks
- Natural colour & non-chill filtered
- A bold, smoky malt for fans of high-impact peat
- Billy Walker innovation at its most extreme
