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
Matured in Ex-Bourbon Barrels and finished for about 18 months in Scottish Virgin Oak Casks
Scottish Sessile Oak (Quercus Petraea) is sourced from the Atlantic Coast of Scotland. It is dried for 36 months before being toasted and charred. Scottish Oak is rarely used for whisky maturation due to its rarity, expense and tendency to knot.
Brand Tasting Notes: The nose is bursting with baked oats, butterscotch, toffee and notes of cinnamon, gingersnaps and heather honey. The palate has lashings of honey, orchard fruits and lemon zest, followed by white chocolate, cinnamon and ginger with toffee and butterscotch on the finish.
