The GlenAllachie Distillery
We’ve been on a bit of a Sherry kick.
Built in 1967 on the eastern slope of Ben Rinnes, The GlenAllachie is a gravity-fed distillery first known for supplying malt to blends like Chivas Regal and Clan Campbell before releasing its own single malt in the 1990s. Today, under Master Distiller Billy Walker, the team’s “Meikle Tòir” (meaning big pursuit) is crafting character driven, small batch peated Speyside whisky, producing limited runs just a few weeks each year and only around 100,000 litres of new make annually.
We’re happy to get these two exclusive releases from a brand family that we’ve loved for years and years. We suggest snatching a bottle or two quickly because there aren’t many to go around.
