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. With this release, the distillery took a major step by introducing its first range of single malts after years of contributing only to premium blends. In 2024, the company rebranded, giving GlenAllachie 'a new visual identity', representing their evolution since 2018.
This single cask GlenAllachie bottling spent 19 years maturing in a Oloroso Sherry Hogshead. This excellent cask showcases the elegance of Oloroso Sherry, revealing layers of cocoa, brandied orchard fruits, toasted spices and GlenAllachie's signature heather honey character.
A UK exclusive, limited release of just 370 bottles.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Cocoa, heather honey and gingerbread, with crystalised ginger, cinnamon buttercream and brandied orchard fruits.
Taste - Dark chocolate, honeycomb and butterscotch, followed by toasted cinnamon, raisin butter and dried red berries, with baking spices and mocha.
Limited to 1 bottle per customer.

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
