Description
GlenAllachie 12 Year Old Sauternes Cask Finish 70cl, 48% is a Speyside single malt from GlenAllachie Distillery, released as a UK-exclusive Wood Collection bottling.
This release was finished in specially selected Sauternes hogshead casks. Sauternes is a celebrated sweet wine from Bordeaux, known for concentrated dessert-wine richness, and the casks add ripe peach, caramel sauce and stem ginger notes to GlenAllachie’s honey-forward spirit.
At 48%, this bottle offers good body while remaining smooth and approachable. It is bottled at natural colour and non-chill filtered, helping preserve texture, sweetness and cask character.

This bottle is especially attractive for collectors who enjoy GlenAllachie’s wine-cask style. The UK-exclusive identity, 12 year age statement, 48% strength and original presentation box make it a strong addition to a focused Speyside whisky shelf.
