GlenAllachie 20 Year Old 2005 (cask 5391) - PX Sherry Hogshead

“Specially bottled to celebrate 40 years of Master of Malt” reads the full bottle’s label. And what a whisky to celebrate with! One of the oldest single malts to ever feature in Pour & Sip, this exclusive single cask release (just 353 bottles) spent two decades maturing in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead before being bottled in September 2025. GlenAllachie itself was founded in 1967, but was scarcely ever seen as a single malt before ‘The GlenAllachie Distillers Company’ led by master distiller Billy Walker bought the distillery from Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard) in 2017.

Walker’s illustrious whisky career spans over 50 years, making his name with Benriach and Glendronach especially. The year after the purchase a brand new core range was launched, and by 2021 a batch of their cask strength 10-year-old was even named World’s Best Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards!
