Distillery/Brand: Glenallachie Expression: 21 - Batch 7 Spirit: Single Malt Whisky Region: Speyside Volume: 70cl Alcohol: 51.9% ABV Cask Strength Cask: Pedro Ximénez puncheons and Oloroso casks Age: 21 years Unpeated Non-Chill Filtered Natural Colour Limited Release From the Gaelic, Gleann Aileachaidh, meaning Valley of the Rocks, this independent, Scottish owned and managed whisky company focuses on the important things: making great whisky and enjoying life. Founded in 1967, GlenAllachie Distillery is nestled in the heart of Speyside, just outside the charming town of Aberlour and at the foot of Ben Rinnes. Surrounded by heather-strewn hills and ancient granite rock, GlenAllachie draws its water from the nearby Springs of Ballantynes, renowned for their purity and softness: an essential ingredient in crafting its rich, fruit-forward style of single malt whisky. Once a quiet contributor to blends, GlenAllachie has flourished under new ownership, embracing bold cask maturation and small batch releases, earning itself a place amongst Speyside legends. This accomplished single malt is truly the apex of luxury. Master Distiller Billy Walker thoughtfully finessed every drop of vintage auburn liquid in superior Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks, expertly sourced from Spain. Carefully matured in a selection of exceptional puncheons and hogsheads, the whisky reveals opulent layers of rich espresso, spiced plums, dark chocolate and forest fruits. Nose: Baked ginger and mocha, followed by honeycomb, spiced orange and candied hazelnuts, with toasted cinnamon and cocoa. Palate: Black cherries, mocha and poached red apples, followed by mānuka honey, crystallised ginger and muscovado sugar, with damson plums, raisin buttercream and treacle.
