Glenallachie 9 Year Old Douro Valley Wine Cask Finish

To craft The GlenAllachie Wine Series, they first expertly matured their spirit in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels. Subsequently, the whisky underwent additional maturation for over two years in wine barriques skilfully sourced by Master Distiller Billy Walker, imparting a distinctive twist onto the GlenAllachie spirit.

Factors such as the oak species, level of toasting, and coopering of the cask each leave a unique mark on the slumbering spirit. The oak itself was previously influenced by the grape variety and terroir of the winery from which we sourced these barriques; thus, the wood adds distinctive layers of complexity, depth and charm.

Rich Redwood. Waves of plum jam, clementines and dried red berries, with notes of heather honey and vanilla spice on the nose. Bursting with dried apricots, heather honey and crystalised fruits, followed by hints of ripe black fruits, butterscotch and cinnamon spice on the palate.
