Glenallachie Distillery is a Speyside distillery sitting on the eastern edge of Ben Rinnes mountain where it is rather exposed to the elements . A modern building and its architect William Delmé-Evans created a distillery which is rather pleasing on the eye. Glenallachie was commissioned in 1967 with two stills which increased to four in 1989 in order to meet blenders ever increasing demand for Glenallachie malt whisky.

Tasting Notes

From the distillery: On the nose, bursting with mocha, nutmeg and walnut oil, with notes of heather honey, sweet raisins and dried red berries. On the palate, lashings of cinnamon spice, molasses and honeycomb, followed by ginger and dark chocolate, with hints of nutmeg and fennel on the finish.

Method

The first batch of GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Cask Strength was released following Billy Walker taking the helm of the distillery in 2017. It was matured in American oak, Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso and virgin oak casks, and bottled at 57.2% ABV.

Our Thoughts

Nose: Brown bread, molasses, raisins. Oaky, woody, milk duds, and salt.
Palate: Round, gritty woody mouthfeel; like sucking on caramel candy. It also has some zippy red fruit at the front of the palate.
Finish: Milk chocolate covered cherries with a long, persistant finish.
