The Glenallachie 16yo Billy Walker 50th Anniversary Present Edition is the second release in a series of three, celebrating Billy Walker's 50th anniversary in the whisky industry. This limited edition single malt, produced at the Glenallachie distillery in the Speyside region, was matured in PX and Oloroso Sherry casks, and then meticulously finished in rare and expensive Mizunara virgin oak casks from Japan. The utilization of these scarce casks imparts a unique complexity and depth to the whisky, illustrating the brand's dedication to crafting extraordinary spirits.
This 16-year-old expression, bottled at a robust 48% ABV in June 2022, was initially matured in sherry casks before being transferred to Mizunara virgin oak casks with a medium level of toasting and charring. The result is a fully sherry-matured single malt with a rich and intricate flavor profile. The limited release of only 2900 bottles marks a significant milestone, paying homage to Billy Walker's illustrious career and his substantial contributions to the whisky industry.
The Past, Present, and Future series is a celebration of Billy Walker's remarkable career and the promising future of the Glenallachie distillery. Each bottling in this series embodies Walker's legacy and his numerous achievements over the past five decades.
