The GlenAllachie Distillery was one of the few post-war distilleries designed by William Delmé-Evans and focused on using gravity-fed methods to reduce energy requirements. The distillery was built in 1967 and sits on the eastern edge of Ben Rinnes mountain where it is rather exposed to the elements. For most of its life, the GlenAllachie Distillery was a production distillery used to produce large quantities of malt whisky for use in blends like Chivas Regal and Clan Campbell. It wasn’t until the 1990s that the distillery saw its first official bottling under its own label.

Scotch. From Scotland.
Here are some recommendations that'll suit the Scotch drinker in your life. Limited releases and longtime customer-favourites can all be found here.
Single Malt from all over.
We love a dram from Scotland, there's no doubt about that but in recent years, we've started searching far and wide for other delicious whisky, all following that same path as our favourite bottles of Scotch.
Blended whisky makes a great gift, too.
Single Malts tend to be the most coveted by Scotch aficionados but there's beauty in blended whisky, too. For the person in your life who likes that particular bottle and flavour, these would make great choices.
