Description
This flagship bottling from Speyside iconoclasts The Glenallachie shows why their talismanic Master Distiller Billy Walker bought the distillery in 2017. A deliciously malty backbone provides ample texture for the flavours and aromas imparted by ex-sherry and virgin oak casks to mingle and develop. This is proper, lip-smacking single malt whisky here, and ideal for pretty much all palates. This is assuredly a producer worth getting to know.

About this spirit
Glenallachie Distillery, Speyside
Glenallachie Distillery was built in 1967 by Charles Mackinlay & Co, who operated as part of the Scottish and Newcastle Breweries at the time. It temporarily ceased production between 1987 and 1989, when it was purchased by Invergordon Distillers, who also owned Isle of Jura. A new lease of life followed under the ownership of Chivas, that acquired the distillery in 1989. Glenallachie distillery bottlings include a 12 Year Old and a 15 Year Old, while the Independent Bottlings comprise Connoisseurs Choice ( by Gordon & MacPhail), Dun Bheagan (by Ian McLeod), Provenance (by Douglas Laing), and Un-Chill Filtered (Signatory Bottling from cask). The house style is soft, elegant, clean, lightly malty, and with just a whiff of peat. An excellent aperitif.

Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
