The GlenAllachie distillery, established in 1967, has a storied history and is renowned for its exceptional single malt whiskies. Initially overseen by Mackinlay McPherson, the distillery was later purchased and mothballed by Invergordon Distillers. It was subsequently acquired by Campbell Distillers, who revitalized its operations. Today, the distillery is under the expert guidance of master whisky maker Billy Walker, along with Graham Stevenson and Trisha Savage.
The GlenAllachie 15 Year Old Scottish Virgin Oak Finish is a distinguished limited edition from Batch 2 of the Virgin Oak Series. This whisky has been matured for 15 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels before being finished for approximately 18 months in rare Scottish Sessile oak casks, sourced from the Atlantic coast. The use of Scottish oak for whisky maturation is a rarity due to its high cost, scarcity, and the wood's propensity to knot. These casks, after being air-dried for 36 months and subsequently toasted and charred to a medium level, impart a uniquely indulgent sweetness to the whisky.
This exceptional whisky is bottled at 48% ABV and is presented in a 700ml bottle. Only 2,250 bottles were produced in 2022, making it a truly exclusive release. The GlenAllachie 15 Year Old Scottish Virgin Oak Finish epitomizes the distillery’s unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, resulting in a whisky that offers a rich, complex flavor profile.
