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.
Tasting Notes
From the distillery: “Nose: Toffee sauce, cinnamon spice and fresh vanilla pods, with attributes of cocoa, honeycombs and cherries.
Palate: Bursts of marzipan, sultanas and rich dark chocolate, leading to wild honey, maraschino cherries and buttercream.”
Method
Aged for 18 years in an on-site warehouse where it was carefully monitored by Master Distiller, Billy Walker. Non-chill filtered, no added colouring and bottled at 46%.
