Product description

Product description
The 12-year-old Glenallachie forms the heart of the series in the new design. It matured in former sherry casks (Pedro Ximenénz and Oloroso) and in new, unseasoned oak casks. Under the direction of Billy Walker, the former Master Distiller of famous distilleries, Glenallachie has been given a new lease of life. A total of four different bottlings have now been created for the new Core Range. Uncoloured, non-chill-filtered and matured in a wide variety of cask types.
With the current bottlings, the focus has been maintained on the higher proportion of sherry casks and a new design has been created for the bottle labels and outer packaging.

The Distillery: Glenallachie

Glenallachie
Glenallachie
Glenallachie
The GlenAllachie Distillery, located in the famous Speyside region, is one of Scotland's younger distilleries, but since its takeover in 2017 by Billy Walker and his team, it has quickly made a name for itself with its high-quality Single Malt Whiskies. The name GlenAllachie comes from Gaelic and means ‘Valley of Stones’, which underlines the distillery's deep connection to the region. In addition to classic bottlings, the distillery has also been producing the peated Meikle Tòir since 2018, which is a special discovery for fans of smoky Speyside Whiskies. read more
