Formally owned by Chivas Bothers, GlenAllachie was bought by the independent ‘GlenAllachie Distillers Company’, which is operated by former BenRiach MD Billy Walker. Billy Walker is an industry legend, he has revitalised several mothballed distilleries including BenRiach and GlenDronach.
The GlenAllachie Distillers Co. was lucky enough to inherit a vast amount of aged stocks from the previous owners though Billy Walker has started to put his own stamp on the spirit. Fermentations and capacity have been slowed to produce a more fruity, refined spirit for the future.
GlenAllachie 12 year old, the heart of the new range and is a landmark bottling. Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso and virgin oak casks have been selected, blended and bottled under the careful eye of Master Distiller, Billy Walker. This is bottled at 46%, non chill-filtered and with natural colour.
