Bunnahabhain Toiteach a Dha Single Malt Whisky
Bunnahabhain Toiteach a Dhà is a smoky, sherried Islay single malt that blends gentle peat with rich fruit and spice, offering a balanced and approachable take on peated whisky. Toiteach a Dhà means “Smoky Two” in Scots Gaelic, marking it as the sequel to Bunnahabhain’s original peated release, Toiteach. Unlike most Islay whiskies, Bunnahabhain typically produces unpeated malts, but this expression introduces a subtle smokiness through peated malted barley. It’s matured in a mix of bourbon and sherry casks, with a higher sherry influence than its predecessor, and bottled at 46.3% ABV with natural colour and no chill filtration. The nose opens with grilled pineapple, kiwi and moist old wood, followed by salt and pepper that hint at its youthful vibrancy. On the palate, it delivers vibrant citrus fruits, licorice root and soft medicinal notes, balanced by orchard fruits and warming spice. The finish is long and smoky, with lingering sherry sweetness and coastal salinity. Toiteach a Dhà is ideal for those exploring peated whisky or seeking a gentler Islay dram with a sherried twist. It captures the essence of Bunnahabhain’s coastal character while offering a unique smoky depth.
Meikle Toir The Original Single Malt Whisky
The Original Meikle Toir is the single malt from the range that truly champions this new peated pursuit by GlenAllachie Distillery. This single malt has been produced with an extended fermentation of 160 hours, nearly triple the time of the industry average which has produced a whisky that can boast big, rich and complex characters. Aromas of baking spices, burn honey and roasted coffee beans, leading to hazelnuts, smoked almonds and butterscotch. Flavours on sweet peat, rich chocolate and heather honey, followed by cinnamon, ginger and oak smoked sugar.
