GlenAllachie 12-Year-Old Single Malt is the distillery’s flagship expression, showcasing its fantastic DNA. This is a deliciously sweet dram, primarily matured in sherry casks.<\/p>\n
The first notes that come to mind when nosing the glass are creamy toffee and honey, combined with raisins and a hint of roasted coffee in the background. On the palate, you\u2019ll find flavors of honey, marzipan, and bananas, while the finish offers aromas of creamy toffee, raisins, and coffee.<\/p>\n
This whisky is the result of Billy Walker\u2019s months-long exploration in GlenAllachie\u2019s warehouses, where he tasted thousands of casks to determine which types should be combined to define the distillery\u2019s flagship expression.<\/p>\n
GlenAllachie Distillery
\nEstablished in 1967, the first \u201cnew make\u201d spirit ran from the stills in February 1968. GlenAllachie, meaning \u201cThe Valley of the Rocks,\u201d was built during the whisky boom of the 1960s when Scotland\u2019s total production increased significantly, primarily driven by demand from the American market. The first owners, who constructed the distillery, were Mackinlays, a subsidiary of Scottish & Newcastle Breweries. The architect behind the project was William Delm\u00e9-Evans, who also designed several other Scottish distilleries.<\/p>\n
In 1985, Scottish & Newcastle Breweries sold Mackinlays to Invergordon Distillers, and in 1989, GlenAllachie became part of Campbell Distillers (now Pernod Ricard). In October 2017, the legendary Billy Walker and two business partners acquired the distillery.<\/p>\n
Distillery Equipment
\nThe distillery is equipped with a 9.4-ton mash tun and eight washbacks. Distillation takes place in two sets of stills, which are unusual due to their very broad bases. Another distinctive feature of GlenAllachie\u2019s still house is that all \u201cshell and tube\u201d condensers are positioned horizontally above the stills. GlenAllachie\u2019s water supply comes from the impressive Benrinnes, located just behind the distillery.<\/p>\n
GlenAllachie Distillers Company
\nFounded in October 2017, GlenAllachie Distillers Company was established to acquire the distillery from Pernod Ricard. The company is led by Master Distiller Billy Walker, who has over 50 years of experience in the whisky industry. He is joined by his partners Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson. Thanks to the financial stability following Billy\u2019s sale of The Benriach Distillery Company, the team is free from short-term constraints. Things will be done properly, and Billy Walker is inviting us all on an exciting journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
