- Meikle Toir hits the market with 4 new releases, The Original, The Sherry One, The Chinquapin One, and The Turbo. All offering something a little different, how will Billy Walker's new peated scotch range fare with whisky drinkers? James Bornn joins to podcast to discuss the potential hype! The Whisky Rant Podcast Ep 87.
The only bottle of Turbo that I saw I bought straight away. Never saw any more... I opened mine, definitely a great dram. Cheers!
Hey guys, loved the new video! Last night, me and my buddy did a tasting. We started with the usual low abv and non-smoky whiskies, then worked our way up to the high ABV and peated ones. The issue came when we went from the Craigellachie 23 and Springbank 18 to the Roseisle 12 and Kilkerran heavily peated. They tasted great individually, but they seemed kinda basic compared to the more complex ones we had before. I'd be really interested to see a WhiskyRant on how you and Jeremy would set up a tasting with 10 different bottles, varying in ABV and casks. It'd be cool to hear how you guys would choose the lineup. Oh, and have fun at Spirits of Toronto tonight! Hopefully, you'll get to try that Benromach 40!
Cheers
Great discussion. James is always a pleasure to listen to and generous with his time and insights about whiskies and the industry.
very kind, thank you
I'll add my vote to the Original being the best whisky of the bunch but the Turbo being the most interesting. Definitely need them to be 8-10years though.
Oh, and the online retailer you're thinking of is Tyndrum. Excellent shop in Scotland.
Cheers
Very nice review guys! Can’t wait to taste it By the way James, I don’t mind having a few bottles in Quebec 😂
Great guest appearance by James as always! This had me laughing out loud a few times 😂
The OBVIOUS tie-in with music is Judas Priest: the literally have an album called 'Turbo' (1986), and the cover art would have made a kick-ass label...just my two cents.
Can't wait to try some of these in the future.
Cheers Rob!
You just set the mood for my next Scotch session. Been years since I listened to this!
@jamesbornn It's the love/hate Priest album; I don't go back to it very often, either. But they still do the title track live, and Rob Halford still kills it at age 70🤘
Enjoy some Turbo with your Turbo!
Great episode!
Cheers 🥃
I love "The Sherry one" Haven't tried the "The Turbo" as it is very hard to get hold of here in Germany and crazy expensive if you do find it !!
Not surprised. The good news is it’ll be back.
The turbo prices in UK/EU have been Springbanked: 200-250.
Yay.
That’s insane.
Thanks a lot Padrone... now, LOCB will list for 120 $CA each ! pl sing, quietly. . . (btw , more like Led Zep, Sabbath and Priest)
I don’t like the new logo/design colours, but maaaaybe it’s an improvement on the psychedelic Flintstones. I think the new look is bland. I’d like them to just launch a design competition (winner gets an old bottle). I bet an enthusiast could gone up with something better with what Glenallachie have now.
Also, not mad at “turbo”. BW obviously DGAF about packaging or names.
‘90s band suggestion: Stone Temple Pilots
One of my favourites
Mood lighting game got away from me
All good.
A Wee Beastie killer?
Absolutely
