  GlenAllachie 10 year old Cask Strength Batch 11 Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 59,4%

  Item no.: 059763-615-188

  Forest berries and sweet spices open the door, then cocoa powder and gingerbread take over. This is GlenAllachie at full strength — Batch 11 poured straight from the cask, no water added.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 11 is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, red wine barriques and virgin oak casks, bottled at cask strength of 59.4%.

  The Cask Strength series has become something of a signature since Billy Walker took over the distillery in 2017. Where the core range tells the story at a gentler strength, here you get the whisky exactly as it left the cask — no water added to tame the intensity.

  Batch 11 builds on the sherry and virgin oak combination that has become GlenAllachie's trademark: Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks bring depth and sweetness, while red wine barriques and virgin oak casks add spice and structure. The result is a 10 year old malt that tastes well beyond its years.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Forest berries and sweet spices greet you first, quickly followed by cocoa powder and a hint of gingerbread. Orange peel adds a fresh edge, while heather honey ties it all together with floral sweetness.

  Palate

  The sherry unfolds on the palate with the same forest-berry sweetness from the nose, this time closer to dark chocolate. Spices take over midway, and heather honey returns alongside a touch of orange peel.

  Finish

  Long and spiced, with cocoa powder and a lingering sweetness from the gingerbread that stays with you well after the last sip.

  Glenallachie 10 year old French Oak Finish Single Speyside Malt Whisky 48%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280119

  Picture an afternoon where the light slants low through a window, carrying the scent of orange peel and heather honey. That is how GlenAllachie 10 Year French Oak Finish greets you — a whisky given extra time on a cask it rarely visits.

  Expert's Description

  GlenAllachie 10 Year French Oak Finish is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky at 48%, matured in American oak casks and finished in French Virgin Oak casks — virgin French oak that has never previously held spirit. It belongs to the distillery's Virgin Oak series, where experimentation with different oak origins takes centre stage.

  French oak lends the whisky a different spice character than American or European sherry oak — more restrained, yet carrying a clear sweetness that plays against the spirit's natural fruitiness. The colour is golden bronze, a sign the cask has released some of its colour without any help from caramel.

  Behind the bottle stand Billy Walker and the GlenAllachie team, known for an almost stubborn insistence on letting the casks speak. This 10 year old is a limited edition, and as such a snapshot of what a single cask choice can do to an already characterful spirit.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Orange peel and heather honey meet a mild spiced aroma, while caramel and mocha settle underneath as a deeper base.

  Palate

  Heather honey and mocha continue from the nose, joined by brittle toffee and a touch of grapefruit. Cinnamon and earthy tannins give the whisky structure.

  Finish

  The finish is warm and lightly spiced, with ginger lingering long after.

  Did You Know?

  French Virgin Oak casks are used far less often in Scotch whisky production than American or European casks, partly because the dense French oak requires a different toasting process to unlock its aromatic compounds.

  Glenallachie 10 year old Grattamacco Wine CaskFinish Single Speyside Malt Whisky 48%

  Item no.: 2222786533368-1

  A journey to Bolgheri hides inside this 10 year old GlenAllachie. After its time in American oak, the spirit was allowed to rest in wine casks from Grattamacco, one of Tuscany's oldest and most respected wine producers, and the result is a honeyed elegance with a well-rounded finish.

  Expert's description

  Glenallachie 10 Year Old Grattamacco Wine Cask Finish is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky bottled at 48% ABV, matured in American oak casks and finished in wine casks from Grattamacco in the Bolgheri area of Tuscany, Italy. Grattamacco is considered the second-oldest wine estate in the area and is known for its powerful, earthy red wines, whose character now carries through into the whisky's casks.

  Only 15,600 bottles of this release exist globally, without individual bottle numbering, making it one of the more limited expressions in the Wine Cask Finish series.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  A honeyed sweetness settles first, supported by a light earthy depth from the Italian wine casks.

  Palate

  The elegance from the nose carries through to the palate, where honey and a warm cask spice balance one another neatly.

  Finish

  Well-rounded and gentle, closing without rushing or fading too quickly.

  Did you know?

  Grattamacco helped put the Bolgheri area on the wine map long before the region became known for its so-called "Super Tuscans" – a story the whisky's wine casks now carry forward.

  GlenAllachie 10 years old Spanish Virgin Oak Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0174

  Picture a cask that has never held sherry, port or bourbon - one that has simply waited for its very first fill. That is the Spanish virgin oak behind this 10 year old GlenAllachie. The wood speaks a different language to the seasoned American or European casks you usually meet in Speyside whisky, and the result is spicier, denser and a touch wilder around the edges.

  Expert's Description

  GlenAllachie's 10 Year Spanish Virgin Oak is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in virgin Spanish oak casks and bottled at 48% ABV.

  The bottling belongs to the distillery's Virgin Oak Series, where Billy Walker and his team set out to explore timber that had never previously held wine or spirit. Spanish oak grows with a tighter grain than American white oak, which means the cask has a higher concentration of tannins and aromatic compounds to give up to the whisky. The effect shows up as a darker, more spice-driven sweetness compared with classic bourbon or sherry casks.

  Although Spanish oak is traditionally tied to sherry production, meeting the wood in its virgin, unused state is unusual - most Spanish casks arrive in Scotland only after years of seasoning with wine. Here, the timber gets to speak for itself from the very first drop.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Honey and toasted almonds meet dried apricot and a touch of spiced oak, not unlike a warm cinnamon bun fresh from the oven.

  Palate

  Caramelised sugar and cloves unfold alongside a hint of raisin and creamy vanilla, carried by the dense Spanish oak.

  Finish

  Long and dry, closing with a last trace of pepper and the tannic grip only virgin timber can give.

  Did You Know?

  Spanish oak (Quercus robur and Quercus petraea) has been used to build sherry casks for centuries, but almost all of that wood is already seasoned with wine, often more than once, before it ever reaches the whisky industry. A truly virgin cask that has never held a drop of liquid before is therefore a rare sight - its natural tannins and aromatic compounds are far more concentrated, since no earlier fill has used them up.

  Glenallachie 11 Years Old Single Cask Bourbon Barrel Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 57,9%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972783196

  The bourbon cask sets the tone here: vanilla, sweet oak and a clean, bright fruitiness layered straight onto the distillate's own complexity. Drawn from a single cask at 57.9%, this 11 year old offers both depth and drive — a few drops of water will open it up further if you like.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 11 Year Old is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky matured in a bourbon barrel and bottled at cask strength, 57.9% ABV.

  Because the entire contents come from a single cask, there is no other distillate to balance against — this is the distillery's raw character, filtered through American oak. Bourbon barrels are smaller than the sherry casks GlenAllachie is otherwise known for, giving the whisky more direct wood contact in less time and a distinct, sweet vanilla profile.

  This series has been bottled exclusively for Denmark, and as with any single cask release, the complexity in the glass is unique to this one cask alone.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Vanilla and sweet oak up front, with a fresh fruitiness hinting at pear and green apple.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and oily, with vanilla caramel and a warm spice note that builds towards the finish.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with a dry, oak-driven close that invites a drop of water.

  As an exclusive single cask bottling from GlenAllachie, released in a limited run for the Danish market, this 11 year old sits at the high end of investment potential. Bourbon-matured single cask releases from respected Speyside distilleries hold solid interest among collectors.

  Did you know?

  Because bourbon barrels are smaller than the puncheons and butts GlenAllachie often uses for sherry maturation, the whisky reaches deeper wood contact sooner — part of the explanation for the pronounced vanilla character in this 11 year old.

  GlenAllachie 12 year old New Edition Single Speyside Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 2222786-2254

  Some whiskies play it safe, and then there is this 12 year old from GlenAllachie, where sherry casks take the lead from the first drop to the last. Cream toffees and honey meet roasted coffee, and throughout you can feel the distillery's devotion to slow, patient maturation.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 12 Year Old New Edition is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky matured predominantly in sherry casks, bottled at 46% ABV. The New Edition expression builds on the distillery's core profile, where PX and Oloroso sherry casks are complemented by Virgin Oak casks that add extra vanilla and spice beneath the sherry sweetness.

  The result is a dram that leans into classic sherried Speysiders, while carrying a clear GlenAllachie signature of nutty and banana-like tones that tie the whole thing together.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Cream toffees and honey settle like a blanket, while raisins and roasted coffee add depth to the aroma.

  Palate

  Honey and marzipan meet ripe bananas in a mouthfeel that is sweet without tipping into cloying.

  Finish

  Fudge and raisins linger alongside a final touch of coffee.

  GlenAllachie 12 Years Old 2013 Single Cask Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 61,7%

  Item no.: 22227865479-110778

  Some casks never get diluted by others – they are left alone to develop a strength and depth that only time and cask power can give. GlenAllachie 12 Year 2013 Single Cask is one such cask, bottled straight without blending.

  Expert's Description

  GlenAllachie 12 Year 2013 Single Cask is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky at cask strength 61.7%, distilled in 2013 and bottled from a single cask, Cask No. 4385, after 12 years of maturation.

  Because the whisky comes from one cask alone, it carries the imprint of that cask's history — no smoothing from other casks, no compromises. The high strength means every drop concentrates the aromas markedly, and a few drops of water can open up even more layers.

  GlenAllachie has made single cask bottlings something of a signature activity under Billy Walker's leadership, where each cask is assessed individually before being released on its own rather than folded into a larger batch.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe fruits and honey meet spices and a distinct oak note.

  Palate

  Dried fruit and vanilla dance with dark caramel, while the high cask strength delivers a spicy warmth that spreads across the palate.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with a trailing note of oak spice and caramel.

  GlenAllachie 12 Years Old Single Cask PX Puncheon Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 59,2%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197

  One cask, one story. This GlenAllachie 12 Year Old comes from a single PX puncheon, poured at cask strength, and it shows: rich Christmas cake, gingerbread and a good pour of caramel sauce. Nothing here has been blended away — what you taste is exactly what that one cask gave up over twelve years.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 12 Year Old is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky matured in a PX Puncheon and bottled at cask strength, 59.2% ABV.

  Letting a distillate mature alone in a single PX-seasoned puncheon, rather than blending it with sibling casks, lets the sherry's dense sweetness work its way fully into the malt. A puncheon is larger than a standard sherry butt, giving the spirit a slower, more even contact with the wood — often producing a deeper, rounder sweetness than smaller casks allow.

  The result is a whisky where spiced baking notes and dark fruit stand out clearly, without being drowned by tannin. It is non-chill filtered and has kept its natural colour, so what reaches the glass sits as close to the cask as possible.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Christmas cake and gingerbread meet spiced orange peel, with a hint of baking spice suggesting cinnamon and clove.

  Palate

  Caramel sauce and crème brûlée arrive first, followed by the same warm spice profile from the nose — now leaning towards dark chocolate.

  Finish

  Long and spiced, with sweetness slowly giving way to dry oak notes and a last trace of orange.

  Did you know?

  A puncheon typically holds considerably more liquid than a standard sherry butt, giving the whisky more room to breathe during maturation — yet still only from this one cask, never blended with another.

  GlenAllachie 15 year old New Edition Single Speyside Malt Whisky 48%

  Item no.: 222344-7521

  There is a reason 15 year old GlenAllachie keeps coming up when collectors talk about sherry-matured Speyside whisky done right. The deep reddish-brown colour hints at what is coming: a whisky shaped by PX and Oloroso Sherry casks, where sweetness and spice settle into an unhurried, well-balanced whole.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 15 Year Old Single Speyside Malt Whisky is matured in a combination of PX and Oloroso Sherry casks and bottled at 46% ABV.

  Fifteen years on sherry gives the whisky its deep reddish-brown colour and a character with clear roots in traditional Spanish-influenced maturation. Under Billy Walker's stewardship, GlenAllachie's cask programme has become one of the most talked-about in Speyside, and this 15 year old is one of the clearest examples of what carefully selected sherry casks can bring to a distillate over time.

  The whisky is both non-chill filtered and free of added colour, allowing the full influence of the sherry casks to come through.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Fudge and Christmas spice wrap around a sweetness of raisin, giving the aroma a warm, homely character.

  Palate

  Sherry sweetness weaves together with Christmas spice, ripe banana and orange peel, before a dark, slightly bitter chocolate emerges.

  Finish

  Softly fading with a lingering spiced sweetness, where dark chocolate and the depth of the sherry linger longest.

  Did you know?

  PX and Oloroso Sherry casks are often treated differently within GlenAllachie's cask stock - some casks are reused several times, while others hold only a single fill of whisky before being retired. This 15 year old is composed of a carefully selected combination of both types to achieve its particular depth.

  GlenAllachie 16 Year Old Billy Walker 50th Anniversary Present Edition Single Speyside Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22221111115-855896

  Some bottles mark an anniversary. This one marks a person. GlenAllachie 16 Year Old Present Edition honours Billy Walker's fifty years in the whisky industry, finished in a cask you rarely encounter in Scotch whisky: Japanese Mizunara oak, cut from trees that can stand for two centuries before they are ready to use.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 16 Year Old Present Edition is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky, finished in Mizunara Virgin Oak casks after 1st fill PX and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at 48% ABV.

  Present Edition is the second release in a three-part series GlenAllachie created to mark Billy Walker's half-century behind the stills. The series is built around three chapters of his career — past, present and a gift toward the future — and this expression represents the present: a spirit given extra time to mature on a cask that is as rare as it is sought after.

  Mizunara oak grows slowly and unevenly, which makes the wood porous and notoriously difficult to coop. Only a handful of cooperages worldwide have mastered the craft, and the result is a cask that lends notes of sandalwood, coconut and oriental spice — a character quite distinct from American or European oak.

  The whisky matured first in PX and Oloroso sherry casks before moving into Mizunara virgin oak, where it picked up its final layers of character. It was bottled in June 2022 in a run of 2,900 bottles worldwide, placing it among the rarer releases in GlenAllachie's anniversary programme.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark chocolate and heather honey meet toasted almonds and sandalwood, while ginger, orange peel and a touch of coconut add an exotic edge.

  Palate

  Heather honey and cinnamon unfold alongside candied ginger and demerara sugar, carried by dark berries, hazelnuts and a syrupy note of fig.

  Finish

  Long and spiced, with a gentle echo of sandalwood and honey trailing quietly away.

  Did you know?

  Did you know Mizunara trees need to reach at least 200 years of age before the wood is suitable for cask production — meaning every Mizunara cask represents two centuries of patience long before a single drop of whisky ever touched it?

  GlenAllachie 18 years old New Edition Single Speyside Malt Whisky 70 cl 46%

  Item no.: 222345-463

  Eighteen is the age at which a whisky either finds its shape or loses itself in too much wood. GlenAllachie 18 Year Old New Edition belongs firmly in the first camp: a whisky in which bourbon and sherry casks have been allowed to work together for close to two decades, without either ever drowning out the other.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 18 Year Old New Edition Single Speyside Malt Whisky is matured in a combination of Bourbon, PX and Oloroso Sherry casks and bottled at 46% ABV.

  The blend of cask types is Billy Walker's signature: the bourbon casks contribute lightness and sweetness, while the PX and Oloroso Sherry casks add depth and spiced complexity. The result is an 18 year old that shows just how much balance can be achieved when cask selection is treated as a craft rather than a formula.

  The whisky is both non-chill filtered and free of added colour, and the eighteen years in wood are clearly felt in both aroma and finish.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Ripe pears and honey meet warm spice and a hint of dark chocolate, underpinned by a light nuttiness from the bourbon casks.

  Palate

  Sherry sweetness and dried apricot weave together with cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of toasted almond.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with a lingering spiced sweetness and a slightly bitter chocolate note that rounds the experience off beautifully.

  GlenAllachie 1989 Cask 100049 Batch 1 Single Speyside Malt Whisky 58,1%

  Item no.: 22227865438-100201

  Distilled on 7 June 1989 and left to rest in a sherry butt for nearly three decades before being bottled in October 2018. Only 485 bottles of this 29 year old GlenAllachie exist, and each one carries an entire distillery lifetime within it.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 1989 Cask 100049 Batch 1 is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky distilled on 7 June 1989 and bottled in October 2018 from a single sherry butt, cask #100049, at 29 years of age and 58.1% ABV.

  The cask has been allowed to work undisturbed through almost three generations of whisky drinkers, and the result is a dram with the depth and complexity that only comes with time. The 1989 vintage predates most of GlenAllachie's better-known modern releases, making this bottling a rare glimpse into the distillery's older stock.

  With only 485 bottles from a single cask, there is no going back once the bottles are gone – this is spirit that cannot be recreated.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Deep and complex, with mature sherry notes, dried fruit and a hint of old oak that speaks to decades of cask rest.

  Palate

  Rich and full-bodied, with layers of dark chocolate, walnuts and a warm spiciness that unfolds slowly.

  Long and dry, with a lingering aftertaste of oak and spice that stays with you.

  Investment Potential

  High. A 29 year old single cask from a 1989 vintage with only 485 bottles ranks among the distillery's rarest releases, and that combination of age and low bottle count is exactly what serious collectors chase.

  Did You Know?

  When this whisky was laid down in 1989, the GlenAllachie distillery had not yet experienced the change of ownership that later led to Billy Walker's takeover and revival of the site – meaning the cask sat waiting through the entire modern era of GlenAllachie's history.

  GlenAllachie 2008 Ruby Port Hogshead 13 years old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 55,2%

  Item no.: 505956-498796-465-4

  Port wine has left its clear mark on this 2008 GlenAllachie. A Ruby Port hogshead has given the whisky a deep, berry-laden character, and 13 years of maturation have given the cask plenty of time to work. With a cask strength of 55.2% and just 313 bottles from cask 2583, this is a rare release exclusive to the Danish market.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 2008 Ruby Port Hogshead 13 Year Old is a single cask Speyside malt whisky, matured in a Ruby Port hogshead and bottled at 55.2% cask strength.

  The bottling forms part of Batch 4 in GlenAllachie's ongoing series of single cask releases, where whisky maker Billy Walker lets each cask show its own personality. Cask 2583 was filled on 20 November 2008 and left to mature for nearly 13 years before being bottled in July 2022. Over the years, the Ruby Port cask has given the whisky a deep reddish hue and a character of dark berries that stands clearly apart from the distillery's cask strength releases matured in bourbon or sherry wood.

  Only 313 bottles have been drawn from this single cask, and they are reserved for the Danish market. That makes this release an ideal chance to experience how a port wine cask can shape a Speyside malt whisky from the ground up.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Ripe raspberries and blackberries meet a sweetness of cane sugar and a hint of clove. Underneath lies a light earthy tone and a touch of dark chocolate that ties the berry-driven aromas together.

  Palate

  The palate offers juicy red berries, a whisper of liquorice and a warm spiciness that builds alongside the cask strength. Towards the middle comes a creamy sweetness reminiscent of dark cherry jam, backed by a light tannin from the cask.

  Finish

  Long and full-bodied, with a persistent tone of dark berries and herbal spice that slowly turns drier, leaving a light peppery warmth.

  Did you know?

  A hogshead is larger than a standard cask, typically holding around 190-200 litres, and is often built by reassembling used bourbon barrels into a new, larger construction. Once such a cask has held Ruby Port, it gains an extra dimension, giving the whisky more colour and fruit than a standard bourbon cask ever could.

  Glenallachie 2008/2019 Blackadder Raw Cask 11 years Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 63%

  Item no.: 22227865363-18749

  Some bottles come straight from the cask, without filtration and without dilution, and this 2008/2019 release from Blackadder is exactly that. A single refill sherry cask, bottled at full strength, delivers a whisky with edge, depth and an intensity that is hard to mistake for anything else.

  Expert's description

  Glenallachie 2008/2019 Blackadder Raw Cask 11 Year Old is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 63% cask strength by the independent bottler Blackadder. The spirit was distilled on 23 September 2008 and bottled in October 2019 after 11 years of maturation in a single refill sherry butt, cask no. #846.

  Blackadder is known for its Raw Cask series, where the whisky is bottled straight from the cask without chill filtration or colouring – and without removing the sediment that naturally settles during maturation. The result is a whisky that stands as close to the distiller's original work as it is possible to get.

  Only 589 bottles of this specific release exist, making it a genuine single cask experience from one of Speyside's most talked-about distilleries.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Powerful sherry character with dried fruit and a hint of the cask's raw, unrefined edge.

  Palate

  The high cask strength gives an intense, concentrated expression where sherry sweetness and spiced oak walk hand in hand.

  Finish

  Long, warm and lingering, with a strength that reminds you this is whisky without compromise.

  GlenAllachie 2008/2020 Murray McDavid 12 year old 1st fill Cognac Casks Single Speyside Malt Whisky 50%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278443

  Murray McDavid has built its name on giving whisky one last, distinctive turn on unusual cask types — and here that turn is cognac. This GlenAllachie, distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2020 after 12 years, spent its final year in ex-cognac casks following maturation in a sherry butt. The result is creamy malt, fruity toffee and a touch of vanilla.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 2008/2020 Murray McDavid 12 Year Old is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky, matured in a sherry butt and finished in 1st fill cognac casks, bottled at 50% ABV.

  Murray McDavid calls itself the "pioneers of whisky maturation" and has built its reputation on exactly this kind of cask experimentation, where an already mature distillate is given one final finish that pulls it in a new direction. Here, the last 12 months of maturation took place in two specific 1st fill cognac casks (#1910865 and #1920865), after the whisky had already drawn its base character from a sherry butt.

  The result is a whisky where GlenAllachie's creamy, fruity sherry character meets the softer, more perfumed wood notes of cognac casks — a combination rarely seen outside the kind of independent bottlings Murray McDavid is known for.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Creamy malt and fruity toffee, with an underlying note of soft oak and a touch of vanilla from the cognac casks.

  Palate

  Soft fruit and vanilla sit up front, supported by a round, creamy sweetness from the original sherry maturation.

  Finish

  Medium length, with a gentle oak note and a lingering hint of cognac's perfumed sweetness.

  GlenAllachie 2008/2023 Virgin Oak 14 years old Batch 5 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 55,5%

  Item no.: 22227865555-77

  Picture a cask that has never held anything but this one whisky - no prior life with bourbon or sherry, just virgin oak and fourteen quiet years of maturation. That is the essence of Batch 5, a distillate personally selected by Billy Walker and bottled in a strictly limited release for the Danish market.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 2008/2023 Virgin Oak 14 Year Old Batch 5 is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured entirely in a virgin oak cask (Cask No. #473) and bottled at cask strength of 55.5%.

  The whisky was distilled in 2008 and left to rest until 2023, when Billy Walker - the distillery's owner and one of Speyside's most respected noses - selected this exact cask for the Batch 5 series. The series is known for pushing the boundaries of GlenAllachie's cask philosophy, and a virgin oak cask marks a deliberate departure from the bourbon and sherry casks the distillery is otherwise celebrated for.

  With only 263 bottles in total, released exclusively for the Danish market, this is a single cask experience unlikely to be repeated. Non-chill filtered and free of added colour, the whisky stands with its full, unadulterated character intact.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Vanilla and toasted coconut meet sweet caramel, a touch of clove and a fresh scent of freshly cut oak.

  Palate

  Creamy vanilla and brown sugar unfold alongside a gentle spiced edge of nutmeg, ripe apples and an underlying honeyed sweetness.

  Finish

  Long and dry-spiced, with notes of cedar, cinnamon and a lingering sweetness that speaks to how much character a single virgin cask can impart.

The combination of Billy Walker's personal cask selection and an unusual virgin oak maturation makes this release a natural collector's item for enthusiasts chasing the unconventional.

  Did you know?

  Virgin oak casks are traditionally used for bourbon and rarely seen in Scotch whisky production. Billy Walker's decision to mature this whisky entirely in a virgin cask is a deliberate experiment within his renowned approach to cask management - and one of the clearest examples of how much character a single, unused oak cask can lend a distillate.

  GlenAllachie 2009 Premier Cru Classe 12 years old Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 59,1%

  Item no.: 505956-498796-465-2

  A French red wine cask from a Premier Cru Classé vineyard has left its mark on this 2009 GlenAllachie. The result is a 12 year old single cask with enough backbone to carry the wine's character through, bottled at a cask strength of 59.1%. Just 323 bottles have been drawn from cask 1040, exclusively for the Danish market.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 2009 Premier Cru Classé 12 Year Old is a single cask Speyside malt whisky, finished in a French red wine cask from a Premier Cru Classé vineyard and bottled at 59.1% cask strength.

  This release belongs to Batch 4 in GlenAllachie's series of single cask bottlings, where the distillery's whisky maker Billy Walker lets each individual cask speak for itself. Cask 1040 was filled on 5 November 2009 and left to rest for nearly 13 years before being bottled in July 2022. Along the way, the red wine cask from a renowned French vineyard has layered the whisky with dark fruit and tannin not found in the distillery's standard releases.

  Only 323 bottles have come from this single cask, and they have been bottled exclusively for the Danish market. That makes this bottling a rare chance to taste what happens when GlenAllachie's clean spirit meets the legacy of a French wine cellar.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark forest berries, redcurrant jelly and a hint of tobacco meet sweet vanilla and a gentle spiced warmth from the oak. Underneath sits a touch of fresh brioche and a tangy note reminiscent of red wine left to breathe.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and powerful, with flavours of dark chocolate, blackcurrant and a whisper of clove. The cask strength brings noticeable warmth, but the dark fruit and soft tannins keep it balanced, while caramelised sugar and toasted almonds emerge along the way.

  Finish

  Long and dry, with lingering notes of dark fruit, cedar wood and a light bitterness from the wine cask, slowly giving way to a sweetness reminiscent of dark marmalade.

  GlenAllachie 2011/2023 Ruby Port Pipe 11 years old Batch 6 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58,2%

  Item no.: 059763-615-38

  A single cask, a ruby port pipe, left to shape the entire character on its own. Batch 6 is one of the rarer chapters in GlenAllachie's single cask series — only 797 bottles exist of this exact combination.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 2011/2023 Ruby Port Pipe 11 Year Old Batch 6 is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, fully matured in a single ruby port pipe, bottled at cask strength of 58.2%.

  The whisky was distilled on 25 October 2011 and left to rest in Cask No. 7445 until July 2023, when it was bottled. More than 11 years of maturation in a single port pipe has given the whisky a deep, fruit-driven character not found in the more blended batches.

  The cask forms part of Batch 6 in the single cask series, and with only 797 bottles drawn from this exact cask, it counts among the distillery's more limited releases.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Ripe red berries and a light wine-like sweetness from the port meet spiced oak. There's depth on the nose, almost like dark fruit cake, with a hint of spice in the background.

  Palate

  The palate offers the same red-berry sweetness, now with more weight and a touch of dried fruit. The port cask shines through with a tart-sweet balance, while the spices push back.

  Finish

  Long and fruit-driven, with a lingering sweetness from the port that slowly gives way to dry oak.

  GlenAllachie 2011/2023 Tawny Port Pipe 11 years old Batch 5 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 53,5%

  Item no.: 22227865555-74

  In Portugal's Douro Valley, port wine matures in large, flat casks known as pipes, where the wine slowly oxidises and develops its signature nutty sweetness. One of those very casks has now become home to an 11 year old GlenAllachie from the Batch 5 series - a single cask bottling brought directly to Denmark and selected personally by Billy Walker.

  Expert's Description

  GlenAllachie's 2011/2023 Tawny Port Pipe, Batch 5, is an 11 Year Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from a single cask, matured in tawny port pipes and bottled at 53.5% ABV.

  The whisky was distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2023 from cask number 7872, a pipe - the traditional, elongated cask shape used across the port districts of northern Portugal. Tawny port ages oxidatively over many years in wood, where contact with oxygen slowly builds the nutty, caramelised character the style is known for. The same qualities show up in the whisky after years of interplay between spirit and residual cask sweetness.

  The bottling belongs to Batch 5, a series imported exclusively for the Danish market, where each cask has been personally selected by Billy Walker for age, cask type and flavour. That makes this single cask a rare chance to experience GlenAllachie in its most unfiltered form, without casks being blended together.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Toasted hazelnuts and caramelised brown sugar meet dried figs and a fine trace of tobacco leaf.

  Palate

  Rich and full-bodied with burnt sugar, walnuts and dark chocolate, carried by a warm, oxidative port sweetness.

  Finish

  Long and warm, closing with a last wave of nutty sweetness and a touch of spiced oak from the cask strength.

The combination of single cask status, Billy Walker's personal cask selection and the exclusive Danish import deal makes it appealing to collectors who prioritise traceability and rarity over volume.

  Did You Know?

  A "pipe" is one of the oldest and largest cask formats in the port wine world, originally designed to be rolled and shipped from the Douro Valley to Porto without ever needing to be lifted. Because tawny port ages oxidatively over long periods rather than reductively in bottle, as with ruby port, the cask itself matters far more to the final flavour - and that same quality is exactly what GlenAllachie passes on to this whisky.

  GlenAllachie 2012/2023 Cuvee Cask Finish 10 years old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0401

  The word cuvée comes straight from the French wine cellar, where it describes a very specific blend of grapes from a given harvest - the winemaker's own signature mix. When GlenAllachie borrows the same term for a cask, it is because this whisky rested in casks that previously held exactly that kind of French cuvée wine. It leaves a finishing touch that is more wine-driven and berry-fruited than most other finishes in the range.

  Expert's Description

  GlenAllachie's 2012/2023 Cuvée Cask Finish is a 10 Year Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in French cuvée casks and bottled at 48% ABV.

  The whisky was distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2023, spending its final years in casks that once held a French cuvée - a wine blended from several grape varieties, usually built for structure and fruit rather than one single defining character. That leaves the whisky with a rounded, gently tart fruitiness that sits beautifully on top of the honeyed sweetness built up during GlenAllachie's long core maturation.

  As one of the distillery's more limited vintage releases, this bottling stands as one of the more experimental cask choices, where Billy Walker's team let the wine world leave its mark on a classic Speyside profile.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark forest berries and a trace of red wine acidity meet soft honey and a light creamy vanilla.

  Palate

  Juicy blackcurrant and cherry unfold alongside brown sugar and a fine, wine-driven tartness that keeps everything fresh.

  Finish

  Medium in length, closing with a last note of dried fruit and a light tannic grip from the wine cask.

  Did You Know?

  The term cuvée is used in the French wine world to describe a specific blend of grape varieties or pressings from a given vintage - the winemaker's own composition rather than the name of a particular region or grape. When such a cask is later filled with whisky, the wood passes on not just colour but also part of the structure and acidity the winemaker originally built into that blend.

  Glenallachie 2013/2022 Carn Mor 8 years old PX Sherry Hogshead Cask Single Speyside Malt Whisky 47,5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-5557

  PX sherry casks are known for lending whisky a deep, almost jammy sweetness, and when a GlenAllachie spirit is allowed to rest eight years in one, the result balances power and sweetness well. This bottle comes from independent bottler Càrn Mòr, part of their Strictly Limited series.

  Expert's Description

  Glenallachie 2013/2022 Càrn Mòr 8 Year PX Sherry Hogshead is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky at 47.5%, distilled in 2013 and matured for 8 years in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead cask, bottled by independent bottler Càrn Mòr, part of Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers.

  The Càrn Mòr Strictly Limited series is known for gathering smaller cask parcels from a wide range of Scottish distilleries and bottling them at a fixed strength of 47.5%, without chill filtration and without added colour. This release is limited to 1,296 bottles, making it a relatively rare representative of GlenAllachie's spirit.

  The PX cask — short for Pedro Ximénez — is well known in the sherry world for its dark, jammy sweetness, and it leaves clear marks on both colour and flavour when used for whisky maturation.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark sherry tones, jammy fruit and a hint of spiced warmth from the cask.

  Palate

  Rich sweetness from the PX sherry meets GlenAllachie's fruity base character, with a layer of dark chocolate and spice.

  Finish

  Long and warm, with sherry sweetness fading softly.

  GlenAllachie 2014 The Sinteis Series Chinquapin PX Casks Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 57,8%

  Item no.: 0597555-77741

  GlenAllachie 2014 The Sinteis Series Chinquapin PX Casks Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57.8%  
  
  The GlenAllachie Sinteis Series Part I: 2014 Chinquapin & Pedro Ximénez Cask Matured is a remarkable single malt whisky that showcases the art of cask selection and maturation. This limited-edition release is part of The GlenAllachie’s innovative Sinteis Series, a collection designed to highlight the harmonious fusion of different cask types.  
  
  Master Distiller Billy Walker, renowned for his expertise in cask management, has meticulously crafted this whisky by combining two unique maturation styles. The whisky has been aged in Chinquapin virgin oak casks, a rare American oak that imparts sweet spice and aniseed notes, alongside first-fill Pedro Ximénez Sherry puncheons, which contribute deep flavors of dark chocolate and ripe fruits. This dual maturation results in a whisky that is both powerful and refined, offering a complex and layered tasting experience.  
  
  On the nose, The GlenAllachie Sinteis Series Part I presents an enticing bouquet of liquorice, butterscotch, and grilled honeycomb. These rich aromas are complemented by candied orchard fruits, cocoa, and treacle toffee, creating a warm and inviting scent profile.  
  
  The palate is equally captivating, delivering a rich and creamy mouthfeel. Flavors of ginger, butterscotch, and candied lemon unfold, followed by fig jam, blackberries, and molasses. The whisky’s depth is further enhanced by cinnamon spice and luxurious cocoa, providing a well-balanced interplay between sweetness and spice.  
  
  The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of the whisky’s intricate character. The influence of the Chinquapin oak and Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks ensures a lingering complexity, making each sip a journey through layers of flavor.

  GlenAllachie 2015 The Sinteis Series Part 2 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58,2%

  Item no.: 0597555-77799

  Scottish virgin oak and Oloroso sherry meet in a glass that smells of honey cake and ripe berries – a combination you rarely see from the same distillery.

  Expert description

  GlenAllachie 2015 The Sinteis Series Part 2 is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a combination of Scottish virgin oak and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at cask strength of 58.2%.

  Part 2 of the Sinteis series continues Billy Walker's exploration of how two very different cask types can each shape the same spirit. Where Part 3 uses French oak, this release draws its character from Scottish virgin oak paired with the heavy fruit sweetness of Oloroso sherry.

  The whisky was distilled in 2015 and spent 9 years in cask before being bottled non-chill filtered and without added colour. The colour is burnt mahogany – a result of extended contact with the sherry casks.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose offers mocha and grilled honey cakes, followed by sun-dried red berries and a warm note of cinnamon butter. Toasted lemon peel and a touch of muscovado sugar round things off.

  Palate

  On the palate you find heather honey and citrus, quickly followed by baking spices and ginger cakes. Poached fruits and mocha add depth, while a creamy vanilla buttercream settles as a soft finish on every sip.

  Finish

  The finish is warm and lightly spiced, with a last trace of honey and toasted mocha that lingers for a good while.

  GlenAllachie 2015 The Sinteis Series Part 2 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 58,2%

  Item no.: 0592555-74711

  French oak and Spanish sherry rarely share a glass. In this release, Billy Walker brings the two together, and the result tastes like nothing else coming out of Speyside.

  Expert description

  GlenAllachie 2014 The Sinteis Series Part 3 is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a combination of French virgin oak and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at cask strength of 57.4%.

  The Sinteis Series is Billy Walker's ongoing exploration of cask types rarely used in Scotch whisky production. The name is taken from the Scottish Gaelic word for synthesis, and each release in the series looks at how two very different cask types can shape the same spirit in their own way. Part 3 puts the focus on French virgin oak, whose tight, spicy oak character stands in clear contrast to the heavy fruit sweetness of Oloroso sherry.

  This whisky comes from the 2014 vintage and was bottled in 2026, giving it around 12 years of cask maturation before it was bottled non-chill filtered and without added colour.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  The nose opens with toasted oak and a touch of vanilla pod, quickly followed by dark sherry sweetness – think raisins, fig and a hint of leather. Underneath sits a spicy note of clove and fresh sawn oak from the French casks.

  Palate

  On the palate, the characteristic Oloroso sweetness arrives first with stewed dark fruit, before the French oak takes over with a dry, slightly tight tannic spice. The cask strength gives the whisky a weight that holds the flavours together without becoming fiery.

  Finish

  Long and dry, with a finish of dark chocolate, toasted nuts and a last trace of sherry sweetness fading slowly away.

  GlenAllachie 21 years old Batch 5 Cask Strength Billy Walker Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 49,2%

  Item no.: 22221116666-41132

  Twenty-one years is a long time to wait for a result, but Batch 5 makes it clear why the patience pays off. The whisky comes straight from Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks at full cask strength, without a single drop of water added along the way.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 21 Year Old Batch 5 Cask Strength is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry puncheons and hogsheads, bottled at cask strength of 49.2% ABV.

  Batch 5 is the fifth chapter in GlenAllachie's ongoing series of 21 year old cask strength releases, where the distillery's cask custodian Billy Walker selects casks that have reached a rare balance of age and intensity. Puncheons and hogsheads of both Oloroso and PX sherry give the whisky its deep, dark character.

  The 21 years in cask have given the whisky time to absorb the full spectrum of sherry — from dry nuttiness to the sweet, jammy character PX casks are known for. The long maturation is balanced by the high strength, which keeps the flavours sharp and distinct.

  The whisky was bottled in 2023 as the fifth batch in the series, and as with earlier batches, the run is limited to whatever the selected casks could provide.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark chocolate and baking spices meet clementine peel and orchard sweetness, while treacle and candied ginger add depth.

  Palate

  Black cherries and raisin butter unfold alongside dark chocolate and spice, carried by the full sherry character of puncheons and hogsheads.

  Finish

  Long, warm and dry, with a final hint of treacle and toasted nuts.

  Did you know?

  Did you know Batch 5 combines two sherry cask sizes — puncheons and hogsheads — giving the whisky access to two different wood-to-liquid ratios, and therefore two nuances of the same sherry character in a single bottle?

  Glenallachie 30 Year Old Batch #2 Billy Walker Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 50,8%

  Item no.: 22211111-88874

  Dark chocolate, dried fruit and spiced oak come together in a 30 year old release, personally selected by Billy Walker. Three decades of patience, gathered in one glass.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 30 Year Old Batch #2 is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks as well as virgin oak and Rioja barriques, bottled at 50.8%.

  The whisky belongs to GlenAllachie's older range, where Billy Walker himself selected the casks for the composition. Batch #2 was bottled in 2022, with 2,000 bottles produced of this exact combination.

  Three different cask types have worked on the whisky across 30 years: the sherry casks provide classic depth and sweetness, while the Rioja barriques and virgin oak add a layer of spice and structure that only really unfolds after such a long maturation.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark chocolate and dried fruit arrive first, followed by raisins and figs. Toasted nuts and spiced oak add depth, while a hint of tobacco hints at the many years of maturation.

  Palate

  Sherry sweetness sits centre stage, supported by dark berries and a coffee-like bitterness from espresso. Honey and orange peel break through before the spices take over towards the end.

  Finish

  Long and complex, with a lingering sherry sweetness that slowly gives way to dry oak and a final hint of spiced tobacco.

  Investment potential

  With 30 years of maturation and only 2,000 bottles of this batch, the whisky ranks among GlenAllachie's rarer releases. The combination of high age, Billy Walker's personal selection and a limited run makes it a natural collector's item, where the rarity speaks for itself.

  Did you know?

  Rioja barriques are relatively rare in Scotch whisky production — they're used far more often for wine than whisky, making this cask combination something of a curiosity even within GlenAllachie's experimental range.

  GlenAllachie 30 years old Billy Walker Batch #4 Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 49,1%

  Item no.: 22212-7894

  Polished antique mahogany in the glass hints at what's coming: dark chocolate, gingerbread and raisin caramel in a 30 year old whisky that's become something of a masterwork in Billy Walker's hands.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 30 Year Old Billy Walker Batch #4 is a Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in a mix of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, bottled at 49.1%.

  Batch 4 is composed of two oloroso sherry casks and three PX sherry casks — a precise balance chosen to highlight both the dark fruit sweetness and the spiced depth that 30 years of maturation brings. This release comes in a highly limited Danish bottling.

  The colour alone tells a story of decades of contact with the sherry casks: polished antique mahogany, deep and clear, with no added colouring.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark chocolate and gingerbread meet raisin caramel and muscovado sugar. Plum syrup adds a preserved depth, while glazed almonds round off the nose with a lightly toasted sweetness.

  Palate

  Cocoa and heather honey lay the foundation, before chocolate-covered raisins and baking spices take over. Molasses adds weight, and a hint of Black Forest cake suggests both chocolate and berries at once.

  Finish

  Long and juicy, with grape must and ripe orchard fruit that slowly settles into a dry, spiced close.

  Did you know?

  The "polished antique mahogany" colour isn't added — it comes purely from 30 years of contact with the sherry casks, one of the clearest visual proofs of just how much time the whisky has actually been given.

  GlenAllachie 7 years old Hungarian Virgin Oak Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0173

  Hungarian oak is rarely seen in Scotch whisky, which is exactly why it is interesting that GlenAllachie dares to experiment with it. The result is a 7 year old sitting somewhere between spice and sweetness — a balance Hungarian oak is known for delivering.

  Expert's Description

  GlenAllachie 7 Year Hungarian Virgin Oak Finish is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky at 48%, where the finishing period has taken place in Hungarian Virgin Oak casks — virgin Hungarian oak casks that have not previously held spirit.

  Hungarian oak is often considered a middle ground between American and French oak: known for a strong spice and vanilla character while retaining a certain finesse. That makes it an interesting choice for a distillery already known for experimenting broadly with cask types in its Virgin Oak series.

  The whisky is part of an ongoing series in which GlenAllachie tests how different national oak traditions affect the same young, robust spirit.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Spiced vanilla and a light sweetness, supported by a distinct oak note from the Hungarian wood.

  Palate

  Vanilla and warm spices fill the mouth, while the spirit's fruity character shines through beneath the surface.

  Finish

  Spiced and dry, with a lingering oak note.

  Flavour Profile

  Vanilla · Spiced · Oak · Light Sweetness

  Investment Potential

  As part of the Virgin Oak series' more unconventional cask choices, this 7 year old appeals to collectors interested in experiments with rare oak types. Investment potential is rated medium, driven by the limited use of Hungarian oak in Scotch whisky production.

  Did You Know?

  Hungarian oak is traditionally used more in wine production than in whisky maturation, and its dense wood structure means it releases aroma more slowly than American oak, which can give a more balanced spice profile over time.

  GlenAllachie 8 Years Old Dram Mor Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 53,8%

  Item no.: 22227865391-734

  Picture a bottling where only 194 siblings exist in the whole world. This 8 year old GlenAllachie comes straight from a single first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead selected by Dràm Mòr, carrying all the dark, sticky sweetness a sherry cask can impart in such a short time.

  Expert's description

  GlenAllachie 8 year old Dràm Mòr is an independently bottled Speyside single malt whisky, distilled in 2016 and bottled in 2024 from a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead, cask no. 210, at cask strength 53.8%.

  Dràm Mòr is a Scottish independent bottler that specializes in tracking down single casks with character rather than chasing a uniform house style. With this release, they have captured some of the best GlenAllachie's distillery can deliver: a spirit robust enough to stand up to an active sherry cask without being overwhelmed by it.

  Eight years might not sound like much in whisky terms, but in a first-fill cask the wood works fast. The result is a dram that tastes older than its age – dark, spicy and with a richness usually associated with far more mature releases.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweet dark fruits meet raisins and stewed plums, while lightly toasted honey notes sit beneath, adding depth without weighing things down.

  Palate

  Full-bodied and spicy from the first sip, with sticky ginger cake and a whole array of Christmas spices spreading across the palate.

  Finish

  Warm and long, with the spice and sherry sweetness lingering well after the last sip.

  Dràm Mòr takes its name from the Gaelic term for "big dram" – a fitting detail from a bottler that prizes casks with character over following a fixed template.

  GlenAllachie 8 years old Scottish Virgin Oak Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 48%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0175

  While sherry and bourbon casks dominate most of the whisky world, GlenAllachie looked to the forest right outside its own door. This 8 year old expression is finished in virgin Scottish oak - a wood almost never used for whisky, simply because it rarely grows tall and straight enough for cask making. The result is a local, almost homegrown woodland character you will not find elsewhere in the range.

  Expert's Description

  GlenAllachie's 8 Year Scottish Virgin Oak is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky finished in virgin Scottish oak casks and bottled at 48% ABV.

  Scottish oak grows more slowly and often more gnarled than its American or European relatives, and the best trunks are traditionally claimed by furniture makers, shipbuilders and timber framing rather than coopers. Finding enough quality wood for full casks is therefore rare, making this one of the few whiskies matured in homegrown Scottish virgin timber.

  The flavour reflects the denser, more tannic wood - a touch tighter and earthier than the other virgin oak variants in the series, while still carrying the signature GlenAllachie sweetness built up over long ageing.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh forest floor, lightly smoked oak and a trace of hay meet a gentle honeyed sweetness underneath.

  Palate

  Spiced pepper and dried herbs mix with brown sugar and a faintly nutty undertone from the dense, local wood.

  Finish

  Medium in length, dry and slightly firm, closing with a last note of oak tannin and a touch of sweetness.

  Did You Know?

  Scottish oak was historically rarely used for cask making, because the best trunks were claimed for centuries by shipbuilders and later by railway sleepers and furniture joiners. The whisky industry has therefore traditionally imported its oak from America and Spain, which makes GlenAllachie's use of homegrown Scottish virgin oak one of the most unusual cask choices in all of Speyside.
