GlenAllachie's 9 year old single malt Scotch "Virgin French oak finish", released in mid-2018 after Billy Walker took over the distillery in 2017 and began his Glenallachie whiskey refining experiments.

This new single malts series features whiskey matured in a single virgin French Limousin oak cask, cask 471, resulting in a huge, ethereal, elegant flavor profile.

The GlenAllachie distillery was born in the thirties in the verdant Scottish valley of Speyside, whose ownership has been handed down from father to son making it, to this day, an independent reality much loved by whiskey fans.

So much so that the GlenAllachie distillery is pointed out as the future legendary distillery of the 21st century on a par with and in competition with Springbank.

The name GlenAllachie derives from the Gaelic "gleann aileachaidh" and can be translated as the "valley of the rocks". Despite its young age (it was founded in 1967) and some periods in "mothballs" the distillery has a base of 40 thousand barrels, barrels that have been carefully selected for the production of this single malt.

A peculiarity to distill GlenAllachie whiskeys and no pumps are used to avoid traumatizing the fermented and the distillate!

The GlenAllachie 9 Years single cask virgin oak 2008 is a limited edition from the new distillery.

This rich bronze malt gets its silky tannins, sweet spices and fruit notes from French oak barrels (Quercus Robur) from the Haute Garonne region, near the Pyrenees.

The fine-grained and consistent wood is air-dried for 15 months before hosting the GlenAllachie spirit.

The result is a delicious, delicate, ethereal and elegant Single Malt.
