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, previously used to create premium blends. In 2024, the company rebranded, giving GlenAllachie 'a new visual identity', representing their evolution since 2018.
This GlenAllachie 21 Year Old Batch 6 is an accomplished single malt, truly the apex of luxury. Billy thoughtfully finessed every drop of vintage auburn liquid in superior Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks, expertly sourced from Spain.
The combination of four Sherry puncheons and hogsheads create an exceptional, multifaceted drinking experience. Abundant in notes of forest fruits, rich espresso, sweet spice and dark chocolate truffles.
Bottled at its cask strength of 52.8%, without added colouring or chill filtration. This allowed the exceptional liquid within the bottle to speak for itself.
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Antique Mahogany.
Nose - Ripe dark cherries and brandied honeycomb, with notes of spiced orange, thick treacle and blackberry tart.
Taste - Dark chocolate, dried red berries and maraschino cherries, followed by heather honey and crystalised ginger, with plum brandy and mocha on the finish.
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
