The Glenallachie 11yo Wine Series Premier Cru Classe is a single malt whisky that showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of master distiller Billy Walker. This whisky embodies the meticulous artistry of the Glenallachie distillery, located in the heart of Speyside. Initially aged in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, it develops a smooth, vanilla-rich flavor profile. The whisky then undergoes a secondary maturation in Premier Cru Classe wine barriques, sourced from top-tier Bordeaux wineries. These prestigious casks impart complex aromas of espresso, marasca cherry, and heather on the nose, followed by notes of ginger, truffle, and hints of minerality on the palate.
Bottled at a robust 48% ABV, this limited edition whisky is part of the Glenallachie Wine Series and has been aged for a total of 11 years. The first maturation period is spent in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, followed by a two-year finish in French oak wine barriques from Premier Cru Classe chateaux. This process results in a unique character that blends the robustness of American oak with the refined elegance of French viticulture.
On the nose, expect waves of butterscotch, blackcurrant, and heather honey, with hints of minerality. The palate brings layers of honeycomb, black fruits, and dark chocolate, followed by flavors of creme de cassis and ginger on the finish. This whisky is free from chill filtration, allowing for a full expression of its flavors.
Overall, the Glenallachie 11yo Wine Series Premier Cru Classe is a sensory masterpiece that highlights the art of whisky craftsmanship. Its unique flavor profile and limited availability make it a must-try for whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike.
