I was reading about Meikle Tòir’s fourth Turbo release — a single malt that leans hard into peat, more than any before it. They’re calling it their smokiest whisky yet, and from the description, they didn’t hold back on the kiln time or the barley’s charred soul.
The Turbo line is limited, cask-strength, and meant to be unfiltered — no chill, no compromise. This one clocks in at 58.2% ABV and comes from a batch matured in first-fill ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks. The distillery says it’s designed for people who think smoke is a seasoning, not a warning.
No mention of where it’s made — but the name’s Gaelic, the peat’s serious, and the bottle looks like it’s been pulled from a chimney flue. I’ve had whiskies that made me cough. This one sounds like it makes the cough cough back.
