Product details
Founded in 1967, GlenAllachie was scarcely ever seen as a single malt, contributing to blended whiskies instead. That changed when ‘The GlenAllachie Distillers Company’ led by master distiller Billy Walker bought the distillery from Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard) in 2017. Walker made his name rejuvenating GlenDronach, BenRiach and Glenglassaugh (and adding capital letters to the middle of some of their names!)
By 2018 GlenAllachie’s new single malt was launched, and in 2021 the fourth batch of their cask strength 10-year-old was named World’s Best Single Malt at Whisky Mag’s World Whiskies Awards! Matured in Pedro Ximénez, oloroso, red wine and fresh oak casks, they’re now up to Batch 11 and Billy still finesses every batch. It’s bottled at natural cask strength (also natural colour without chill-filtration), and if you fancy a bottle it’s had a smart redesign too.
