The GleAllachie Pedro Ximenez sherry 12 years of the "wood Finish" series is the full-bodied, flavorful but high quality single malt of the Scottish distillery, entirely aged in Spanish oak barrels ex sherry.

GlenAllachie's 12 year old single malt Scotch whiskey "Pedro Ximenez sherry wood finish", released in mid-2021 after Billy Walker took over the distillery in 2017 and began his Glenallachie whiskey refining experiments.

This new series of single malts presents this whiskey aged in ex sherry pedro Ximenez barrels resulting in a single malt, full-bodied, intense, with an elegant aromatic 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 12 Years Pedro Ximenez sherry wood finish is a limited edition from the new distillery.

This rich antique bronze malt reaches its spicy and delicate flavors from Spanish oak barrels (Quercus Robur) from the regions of Galicia and Asturias, more specifically, the Cantabrian mountains which have a cooler climate and higher humidity, combining them with fruity sherry, the best Pedro Ximenez sherry.
