The GlenAllachie 8yo Wood Finish Series is a meticulously crafted expression from the GlenAllachie distillery, situated in the renowned Speyside region. This particular whisky forms part of the Wood Finish Series, where Master Distiller Billy Walker collaborates with niche producers from around the globe to source small batches of exceptional casks that enhance the unique GlenAllachie spirit. Bottled at 48% ABV and matured for a total of 8 years, it initially ages in premium American oak barrels before undergoing an additional maturation period in organic rye quarter casks from Chicago's Koval Distillery. The increased wood-to-liquid ratio in these rye casks imparts a distinctive rye spiciness, resulting in a rich, multifaceted flavor profile. The palate is captivated by intense sweet spices, honey, butterscotch, cooking apples, and cloves. This expression highlights GlenAllachie's commitment to sourcing high-quality casks to add character and depth to their celebrated whisky range.
