The White Heather 21yo Blended Scotch Whisky is a majestic offering from the Glenallachie Distillery, meticulously crafted by the celebrated whisky expert Billy Walker, who brings nearly five decades of industry experience. This exceptional whisky, inspired by the rare and fortunate white heather, is a limited release of just 2000 bottles. Maturing for 21 years in a combination of European and American oak casks, this blend represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and dedication. On the nose, this whisky unveils an enticing bouquet of heather honey, butterscotch, ripe grapes, and a delicate wisp of acrid peat smoke. The palate is a harmonious blend of orange peel, heather, honey, and butterscotch, creating a rich and complex tasting experience. The blend is composed of both malt and grain whiskies, featuring single malt from Glenallachie and a peated Islay single malt, matured in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry puncheons, as well as Appalachian virgin oak casks. The high malt content, including aged Glenallachie, provides a perfect balance of sweetness and gentle peat. After an initial maturation, the whisky is married in specially selected European and American oak casks at the Glenallachie Distillery for over a year, followed by an additional three years in Pedro Ximenez puncheons, Oloroso puncheons, and Appalachian virgin oak casks. This intricate maturation process contributes to the whisky's unparalleled complexity and depth.
