Celebrating whisky legend Billy Walker's 50 years in the industry, The GlenAllachie have launched the first bottling of their Anniversary Trilogy: the GlenAllachie 16-year-old Past Edition. Billy Walker is renowned for his unrivaled cask management expertise. Throughout his half-century in the industry, he has acquired an extensive understanding of whisky maturation, selecting the finest casks, continually evaluating the aging spirit, re-racking into new wood to elevate the flavor experience, and determining the perfect time for bottling.
This limited-release 16-year-old single malt has matured in sherry butts, before being bottled in February 2022 at cask strength as the first part in the Past, Present, Future series. The series is a celebration of both Billy's momentous career so far, and what the future holds for GlenAllachie. Each bottling is a testament to his reputation, raising a glass to everything he has achieved in the last 50 years.
The first release in the trilogy, "The Past," is a fully sherry-matured 16-year-old single malt, combining nine 2005 vintage Spanish sherry butts personally selected by Walker. This richly sherried malt is packed with notes of rich espresso, heather honey, iced figs, and sweet spices. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.1%, it is free from added coloring and non-chill filtered for maximum flavor. This release is limited to 4,000 bottles worldwide.
The ABV (Alcohol by Volume) of this whisky is 57.1%.
