The 2024 Singapore World Spirits Competition has announced its most prestigious accolades and the title of Best in Show Whisk(e)y has been awarded to Meikle Tòir Peated Speyside ‘The Sherry One’ Single Malt Scotch.
Meikle Tòir is known for its unique approach to whisky making, where traditional methods are combined with contemporary techniques to create whiskies that are both distinctive and deeply rooted in the Speyside region. ‘The Sherry One’ exemplifies this philosophy, offering a rich and complex flavor profile that has set it apart in the highly competitive whisky market.
‘The Sherry One’ is a beautifully balanced single malt that showcases the perfect marriage of peat and sherry cask maturation. On the nose, it presents an inviting aroma of dried fruits, rich sherry, and a subtle smokiness that hints at the peat influence. The palate is a symphony of flavors, with notes of dark chocolate, raisins, and a warm, smoky undertone that lingers beautifully.
These characteristics were key in securing the top honor at the Singapore World Spirits Competition, where ‘The Sherry One’ stood out for its complexity, balance, and the masterful way it integrates peat with sherry cask influence.
As we celebrate the success of Meikle Tòir and ‘The Sherry One,’ we eagerly anticipate discovering more standout spirits from this year’s competition. Stay tuned for further updates and insights from the world of whiskies and beyond.
