The Glenallachie 15yo is a distinguished single malt whisky crafted at the renowned Glenallachie Distillery, nestled in the Speyside region of Scotland. Introduced as a pivotal addition to the distillery's core range, it serves as a bridge between the 12-year-old and 18-year-old expressions. This whisky stands out as the most heavily sherried expression within the current lineup, offering an exceptional sensory experience. Distilled at the Glenallachie Distillery and aged for a minimum of 15 years in Speyside, this whisky undergoes a meticulous maturation process in a combination of Pedro Ximenez (PX) and Oloroso sherry casks, along with American oak barrels. This triple cask maturation imparts a smooth, rich character with a multifaceted aroma and taste profile. On the nose, the Glenallachie 15yo brims with notes of raisins, sweet spices, and a hint of butterscotch. The palate is a delightful medley of sweet spices, raisins, banana, and dark chocolate, culminating in a long, well-balanced finish with a subtle hint of orange peel. Bottled at 46% ABV, this whisky is non-chill filtered and naturally colored, ensuring that it retains its authentic character. Master Distiller Billy Walker, known for his unwavering commitment to crafting outstanding whiskies, handpicked the casks for this release. The Glenallachie Distillery, designed by William Delme-Evans and established in 1967, boasts a rich heritage. Initially serving as a production distillery for malt whisky used in blends, it wasn't until the 1990s that Glenallachie saw its first official bottling under its own label. Today, the distillery is celebrated for its single cask releases and sherried expressions, earning a reputation as one of the most exciting distilleries in contemporary times. In summary, the Glenallachie 15yo is a complex and well-rounded single malt whisky, epitomizing the quality and craftsmanship for which the Glenallachie Distillery is renowned.
