Winemaking notes
Guided by revered Master Distiller, Billy Walker, our team is on a ‘Meikle Tòir‘ (meaning ‘big pursuit’). The goal: to carefully craft and cask-perfect a peerless peated single malt at our Speyside home, The GlenAllachie Distillery.
Viticultural notes
‘The Original’ is our classic single malt that truly champions our peated pursuit. Made with peat from St. Fergus, the flavour contribution is sweeter than that anticipated of coastal peat. With an extended fermentation time of 160 hours, nearly triple the industry average, the whisky boasts flavour-rich, complex character. Aged in first-fill Bourbon barrels, American virgin oak casks and Rye barrels, the spirit clocks in at 35 PPM.
Tasting notes
Baking spices, burnt honey and espresso, with hazelnuts, smoked almonds and butterscotch.Sweet peat, rich chocolate and heather honey, with cinnamon, ginger and oak-smoked sugar.
