Winemaking notes
Built in 1967 as a small compact distillery, GlenAllachie was the fourth distillery designed by William Delme-Evans. The complete whisky making process was gravity fed and combined with unusual horizontal condensers it was a triumph of engineering and design.
Fast forward 50 years and we’re reaping the benefit when we bring you the GlenAllachie 25 year old.
Viticultural notes
A combination of Pedro Ximinez and Oloroso casks specially selected by our Master Distiller Billy Walker and bottled at a slightly higher ABV of 48%
Tasting notes
Lashings of sultanas, pineapples and dark chocolate, followed by layers of Christmas cake, marmalade and sweet spices. Gold Medal - World Whisky Awards 2020 91.5 Points, Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible "Raspberry swiss roll, beside a glass of freshly mixed Robinson’s barley water. One of the juiciest 25 year old whiskies in the world: beyond salivating - and there is a real nip and bite so you experience pain and pleasure in almost equal measure. The passing quarter of a century has mellowed it significantly, astonishingly. So now the sugars from the grist act as a balm; the gentle tannins as peacemaker. This is, against all the odds, now a very attractive whisky.” Double Gold, San Francisco Spirits Competition 2020
