Founded in 1967 by Mackinlay McPherson in Aberlour, GlenAllachie Distillery operated until 1985 when it was mothballed. The distillery saw a revival in 1989 by Invergordon Distillers. In 2017, Billy Walker, Graham Stevenson, and Trisha Savage acquired the distillery, marking a new chapter in its history. Billy is a skilled Veteran Master Distiller who engineered the move from concentrating on providing for blending to Single Malt bottling.
In 2018, the Speyside distillery launched its first core range of GlenAllachie single malts just nine months after taking ownership. This release marked a significant milestone as it was the first-ever range of single malts from the distillery, which had previously been used to create premium blends. In 2024, the company rebranded, giving GlenAllachie 'a new visual identity', representing their evolution since 2018.
This spectacular Scotch whisky embodies GlenAllachie's unwavering dedication to obtaining sherry wood of the highest standard. Additionally, a watchful eye throughout the maturation journey ensures the whisky is bottled at its optimum. Moreover, with an intense mahogany hue, this GlenAllachie 15 Years Old exudes sheer indulgence with layers of cinnamon, orange zest, vanilla toffee, and dark chocolate.
Boasting bold sherry cask influence, this indulgent single malt delivers delectable dark chocolate and dried fruits.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - There's dark cherries, golden syrup and sweet spices to the fore, with hints of toffee, glazed figs and hazelnuts.
Palate - GlenAllachie's heather honey hallmark on the palate, alongside orange peel, cocoa and ginger.
Finish - Finally, you'll find caramelised brown sugar on the finish.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
