The Glenallachie Wine Series presents an exquisite 9-year-old single malt whisky, featuring a secondary maturation in Douro Valley red wine barriques from Portugal. This Speyside malt first ages in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, developing a smooth, vanilla-rich flavor profile. Under the expert guidance of Master Distiller Billy Walker, the whisky undergoes a transformative maturation in select Douro Valley barriques, imparting rich, dried fruit flavors and jammy aromas of plum, dried cherry, and honey.
Situated in the heart of Portugal, the Douro Valley is one of the world's oldest protected wine regions, established in 1756. Renowned for producing robust, characterful red wines, it boasts a high classification as a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC). The carefully selected barriques contribute decadent layers of dried stone fruits, warming spices, and rich colors to the whisky.
Bottled at 48% ABV, this expression is free from chill filtration, ensuring a pure and authentic taste experience. The palate offers waves of plum jam, clementines, and dried red berries, complemented by notes of heather honey, vanilla spice, and dried apricots. Hints of ripe black fruits, butterscotch, and cinnamon spice round out the complex flavor profile.
Billy Walker's expertise in wood maturation is evident in the Glenallachie Wine Series, as he meticulously chooses French oak barriques from the Douro Valley to create a variety of whiskies aged in distinct wine and sherry casks. This 9-year-old expression is a testament to the art of whisky craftsmanship and the transformative power of exceptional wine barriques.
