Description
One of the results of the US-fuelled 1960s whisky boom, GlenAllachie was built in 1967 by Scottish & Newcastle Breweries’ distilling subsidiary, Mackinlay’s. It has only very rarely been seen as a single malt bottling – most notably as part of Chivas Brothers’ Cask Strength series.
In July 2017, it was announced that Chivas Brothers had agreed to sell GlenAllachie to The GlenAllachie Distillers Company, operated by former BenRiach Master Distiller Billy Walker, ex-Inver House Distillers Master Distiller Graham Stevenson, and Trisha Savage. A capital ‘A’ was added to the distillery name, in keeping with the changes Walker made to BenRiach and GlenDronach under his stewardship.
Taste
The term Cuvée is used in the wine industry to indicate a wine of superior quality in which two or more grape varieties have been blended. This was matured in wine barriques from the world-famous wine regions of Languedoc and Valpolicella, along with casks from two Premier Cru Classé chateaux in Bordeaux.
Brand Tasting Notes: The nose is bursting with orange blossom, espresso, maraschino cherries, and honeysuckle; with hints of candied stone fruits, hazelnuts, lavender, and cinnamon. The palate has waves of dark chocolate, red currants, and burnt coffee beans, followed by crystallized almonds, blackberries and orange zest; with ginger and licorice on the finish.
