GlenAllachie 12 Year Old Bourbon Barrel #2083 61.3%

GlenAllachie is located near Aberlour in the Speyside whisky producing region. It is a relatively new distillery founded in 1967 by Mackinlay, McPherson & Co. It was designed by the architect William Delme Evans and the structure is both modern and aesthetically pleasing. In 2017 the distillery was sold to The GlenAllachie Consortium and at its helm is the famous master blender Billy Walker. The spirit resting in the warehouses has been transformed into some great quality releases. Billy Walker repeatedly assesses the ageing whisky and re-racks it into new quality casks to add more layers of flavour. Fermentations are lengthy at GlenAllachie and a minimal amount of the spirit made is heavily peated. In 2018 a core range was released consisting of 12, 18 and 25 year olds. There have also been additions to this range of a 21 year old cask strength matured in PX casks. Plus theres a 30 year old cask strength from PX, oloroso and chinquapin virgin oak.
