Product Information

One of a few distilleries built to produce blending whisky, GlenAllachie (pronounced ‘Glen-al-ACK-ee’) was founded by Mackinlay, McPherson and Co to provide malt whisky for Mackinlay blends. The distillery stands in the heart of Speyside, at the foot of Ben Rinnes and in relatively close proximity to Aberlour. Both whisky distilleries draw their water from springs in the mountains.

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.

9yo Fino Sherry Cask Finish

Known for its pale appearance and delicate flavour profile, Fino is the driest style of Sherry. It must be biologically aged for at least two years under a ‘flor’: a yeast layer which prevents oxidation.

Maturation in former Fino hogshead casks has resulted in a single malt bursting with stewed pear, sugared almonds and vanilla custard tones.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Nutmeg, heather honey, and vanilla extract, with butterscotch, green apple peel, stone fruits, and roasted almonds.

Palate: Dried apricots, honeycomb, and butterscotch, followed by baking spices, marzipan, and caramel.

Finish: Orchard fruits and citrus on the finish.
