Collector’s Note

GlenAllachie Present Edition has excellent collector appeal because it is the second bottle in the Billy Walker 50th Anniversary trilogy. The Past Edition focused on sherry tradition, while this release highlights the present-day innovation of GlenAllachie’s cask programme.

This bottle is especially attractive because Mizunara oak is rare, expensive and difficult to work with, giving the release a more distinctive identity than a standard sherry or bourbon cask bottling. With its 16 year age statement, limited 2,900-bottle outturn and premium presentation box, it is a strong bottle for serious GlenAllachie collectors.
