Glenallachie, Scottish Virgin Oak, 8-Year-Old, Speyside, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (48%)

Description

Glenallachie, since 2017 under the stewardship of Billy Walker, is becoming known for richly-fruited Speyside malt whisky, with depth and complexity aplenty. It is exceptionally rare to find Scottish oak being used for whisky cask production; very few trees from the windswept West Coast forest grow straight enough for a cooper's liking! Nevertheless, it is used here to great effect, lending a beautiful note of floral honey, citrus oils, sweet baking spice and hazelnuts.

About this spirit

Glenallachie Distillery, Speyside

Glenallachie Distillery was built in 1967 by Charles Mackinlay & Co, who operated as part of the Scottish and Newcastle Breweries at the time. It temporarily ceased production between 1987 and 1989, when it was purchased by Invergordon Distillers, who also owned Isle of Jura. A new lease of life followed under the ownership of Chivas, that acquired the distillery in 1989. Glenallachie distillery bottlings include a 12 Year Old and a 15 Year Old, while the Independent Bottlings comprise Connoisseurs Choice ( by Gordon & MacPhail), Dun Bheagan (by Ian McLeod), Provenance (by Douglas Laing), and Un-Chill Filtered (Signatory Bottling from cask). The house style is soft, elegant, clean, lightly malty, and with just a whiff of peat. An excellent aperitif.
