Meikle Toir 5YO, The Chinquapin One, 48% - Whisky Wednesday

Meikle Toir Part 2: The Chinquapin One. It’s no secret that virgin oak is my first love of whisky. Billy Walker is somewhat instrumental in that love, too. Many years ago at The Whisky Shop, an exclusive BenRiach was bottled for the company, a 17YO cask strength with a virgin oak finish. Wedding bells may as well have rung out across the whisky community because I bought and drank about 5 bottles of this stuff in half as many years. Stunning. But here we have new distillate, peated to 35ppm, and matured solely in Chinquapin virgin oak casks. This type of white oak was first used by Jura, if memory serves me correctly, and it was a little lost in the mix. It’s all well and nice to shout about utilising new wood, but when it’s lost in the vatting process to fundamental dullness, it’s not easy to sing it to the roof in celebration. Luckily, we don’t have to worry about that here. This is an absolutely stunning example of how virgin oak can mature Scotch whisky to a degree of true succession in regards to the true balance of a product. We are overwhelmed by white chocolate, caramel, cocoa, plum notes, orange oil, cedar wood smoke, powdered sugar, croissants, and all of the boozy delight that there is to be had when exemplary skills are put to use to make two very powerful forces in whisky work together. Billy Walker, fucking hell.
