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
This was bottled exclusively for ImPex Beverages, USA
First matured in American Oak Barrels and then transferred to Madeira barriques which previously held wine made from Malvasia grapes, one of the richer Madeira styles.
Brand Tasting Notes: The nose has waves of butterscotch, green apples, and honeysuckle with hints of orange zest, pineapple, and mint. The palate is bursting with pear syrup and honeycomb along with crushed vanilla, with notes of green apple peel, ginger, and grapefruit.
