The Glenallachie 4yo Future Edition Series Billy Walker 50th Anniversary Peated is the final release in the Billy Walker 50th Anniversary collection, celebrating the illustrious career of master distiller Billy Walker in the whisky industry. This young, peated single malt is the first expression released under Billy Walker's ownership of the Glenallachie Distillery and the first spirit distilled under his direction. Notably, it represents the distillery's inaugural peated single malt, symbolizing Billy Walker's future endeavors in whisky making. Matured for four years in a unique combination of ex-bourbon, ex-rye whiskey, and virgin oak casks, this whisky was bottled in August 2022 at a robust 60.2% ABV. Made with Speyside peat from St Fergus, it boasts a distinctively smoky yet sweet flavor profile. The aromas are an inviting mix of toasted honeycomb, dried fruits, hazelnuts, dark chocolate, smouldering oak, and cinnamon apples. On the palate, it delivers notes of stewed pears, toasted almonds, heather honey, vanilla toffee, smoked barley, and ripe apples. This bottling is part of a trilogy within the Past, Present, and Future Series, celebrating Billy Walker's 50-year career at the Glenallachie Distillery. As the third release in the series, it offers enthusiasts a special opportunity to experience Billy Walker's peated work as it develops, ahead of the upcoming range. The whisky was bottled at cask strength, ensuring a rich and robust flavor experience. This 4-year-old single malt is not only the first peated release but also the first distillate produced under Billy Walker's ownership of The Glenallachie Distillery. It underwent an extended fermentation of 160 hours, resulting in a rich and fruity spirit that was matured in former Rye and Bourbon barrels, as well as some virgin oak casks. The resulting amber-hued spirit offers a distinctively smoky yet sweet flavor profile bursting with sweet cinnamon apples alongside smouldering oak.
