Glenallachie Single Cask

Glenallachie Single Cask whiskys are the result of a long-standing artisanal process dating back to the founding of the Glenallachie Distillery in 1967. Located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, on the edge of the picturesque village of Aberlour, Glenallachie is a household name among whiskys enthusiasts from all over the world.

The history of Glenallachie Distillery begins with the vision of legendary whisky producer Billy Walker. In 2017, Walker acquired Glenallachie, determined to revive the distillery and unlock its potential. Under his leadership, Glenallachie was given new impetus, with a focus on producing exceptional single malt whiskys that reflect the rich tradition of Scotch whisky.

One of the most notable outcomes of this revival is the Glenallachie Single Cask collection. Each whisky in this series is hand-selected from a single barrel, resulting in unique and highly regarded bottlings. These single cask whiskys offer enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy a unique tasting experience, each with its own characteristic features and nuances.

What makes these whiskys even more special are the barrels in which they are matured. Glenallachie uses a variety of cask types including ex-bourbon casks, ex-sherry casks and even specially selected wine casks. Each cask contributes to the complexity and depth of the resulting whisky, with subtle flavor influences arising from the cask's previous contents.

The ex-bourbon casks, sourced from American distilleries, bring out vanilla and caramel notes, while the ex-sherry casks add rich fruity and spicy aromas. Wine barrels often add a refined sweetness, along with subtle hints of spices and dried fruit. By combining and carefully selecting these different casks, Glenallachie can create a wide range of flavor profiles to suit the diverse preferences of whisky lovers.

Each Glenallachie Single Cask bottling tells a unique story, woven from the history of the distillery and the characteristics of the specific cask in which the whisky was matured. It is this combination of craftsmanship, tradition and innovation that makes the Glenallachie Single Cask collection a true gem within the world of Scotch whisky.
