Description
One of the results of the US-fuelled 1960s whisky boom, GlenAllachie was built in 1967 by Scottish & Newcastle Breweries’ distilling subsidiary, Mackinlay’s. It has only very rarely been seen as a single malt bottling – most notably as part of Chivas Brothers’ Cask Strength series.
In July 2017, it was announced that Chivas Brothers had agreed to sell GlenAllachie to The GlenAllachie Distillers Company, operated by former BenRiach Master Distiller Billy Walker, ex-Inver House Distillers Master Distiller Graham Stevenson, and Trisha Savage. A capital ‘A’ was added to the distillery name, in keeping with the changes Walker made to BenRiach and GlenDronach under his stewardship.
Taste
Batch 12 | Matured in Pedro Ximenez Sherry, Oloroso Sherry, Red Wine, and Virgin Oak Casks
Brand Tasting Notes: The nose has hints of mocha, fig syrup, and toasted hazelnuts with honeycomb, dried red berries, and a touch of molasses tart. The palate has baking spices, brandied cherries, and toffee sauce. All followed by Black Forest Gateau, mocha, and grilled honeycomb, with molasses and damson plum on the finish.
