GLENALLACHIE 'Distillery Edition' (2017 Bottling) Speyside Single Malt Scotch Bottle (70cl) 40%abv

Description

GlenAllachie has seen a remarkable resurgence under the visionary leadership of Master Distiller Billy Walker, who has transformed the distillery into a benchmark for rich, sherry-influenced Speyside whiskies. This 2017 Distillery Edition, bottled at the start of this new era, offers a fascinating glimpse into the distillery's transitional style.

The nose is wonderfully aromatic, presenting inviting notes of honeyed cereal, butterscotch, and a hint of soft orchard fruits. On the palate, it delivers a smooth and medium-bodied experience; flavours of creamy vanilla and sweet toffee are beautifully balanced by a gentle peppery spice and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is remarkably clean and warming, leaving a lingering, sweet malt satisfaction. This is a superbly balanced and approachable dram, showcasing the early promise of GlenAllachie’s refined and characterful spirit.
