GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 10 (70cl, 58.6%)
Every batch we create of our 10-year-old Cask Strength represents the direction in which we are taking The GlenAllachie,” Master Distiller, Billy Walker. Demonstrating the impact of exceptional cask management, the tenth edition of our highly-sought after release embodies this philosophy and stands proudly alongside its award-winning predeccesors.
Each striving to better the last, Batch 10 is a true illustration of the artistry and expertise that creates every drop of our liquid gold. To deliver our classically Sherried profile, Billy hand-selected Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks to be married with spirit maturing in red wine barriques and medium toast/medium char American virgin oak barrels. The result is a well-balanced, yet complex malt with distinctive notes of dark fruits and layers of warming sweet spice.
Presented in its purest form at natural cask strength of 58.6%, without added colouring or chill-filtration.

From Batch 2 of our Virgin Oak Series, this exceptional malt was first matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels before undergoing additional maturation in casks made of Chinquapin Oak (Quercus Muehlenbergii), which is sourced from the Northern Ozark region in Missouri for approximately 18 months. The casks were air dried for almost four years, then toasted to medium level before hosting the spirit.
The result is a complex, zesty malt bursting with runny honey, sweet cinnamon and orange peel.

GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Grattamacco Wine Cask Finish (70cl, 48%)
To craft The GlenAllachie Wine Series, we first expertly matured our spirit in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels.

The second winery established in Tuscany’s renowned Bolgheri area, The Grattamacco Estate produces wines with a signature style of elegance. Complementing our fruit-forward Speyside spirit, maturation in these barriques have created a palate rich with juicy blackcurrant and sweet tannins. Truly embodying the complexities of the red wine previously held in each cask, the resulting whisky offers up honeyed elegance with a well-balanced finish.
This expression is bottled unchilfiltered for flavour with no added colouring at 48% ABV.

Glenallachie distillery was established in 1967 in Speyside, and since 2017 has been the playground of master distiller Billy Walker – a 50-year veteran in the Scotch whisky industry. Under his watchful eye, the Glenallachie distillery has launched several innovative whisky expressions and series.
This 10-year-old single malt joins batch three of GlenAllachie’s Virgin Oak Series, which explores the subtle differences imparted by maturation in various species of oak.

GlenAllachie 11 Year Old 2012 Cuvee Wine Cask Finish 70cl, 48%
To craft The GlenAllachie Wine Cask Series, Master Blender Billy Walker first expertly matured our spirit in the finest American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before transferring the whisky into hand-selected European wine barriques for secondary aging. Billy added a distinctive twist to this release by ultimately blending four exceptional wine cask finishes into one unique expression: The Cuvée Wine Cask Finish.
The next release of our Cuvée, bottled in 2023, is a harmonious marriage of whisky matured in barriques which previously held premium red wine. The finest casks were hand-picked from the French AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) regions of Languedoc and Médoc whilst, across the border, Grattamacco and Recioto della Valpolicella barriques from Italy were sourced to host our honeyed spirit.
Once expertly blended, the resulting golden liquid delivers an exceptionally opulent drinking experience. Expect layers of robust red fruits and gentle spice alongside hints of citrusfrom this smooth yet characterful limited malt.

In celebration of Master Distiller Billy Walker’s half-century long career in the whisky industry, we are delighted to unveil the second in The Past, Present and Future Series: The GlenAllachie 50th Anniversary Present Edition.
This rare expression illustrates Billy’s present, where he is avidly implementing an incredibly innovative cask management policy. After initial maturation in PX and Oloroso Sherry casks, the spirit enjoyed secondary aging in specially selected Mizunara casks, a very scarce and expensive species of Japanese oak. Notoriously difficult to cooper and prone to leaking, these casks are rarely used for whisky maturation. Although posing difficulties, their porous nature lends to the spirit sinking deeper into the wood, imparting complex notes of sandalwood and cinnamon.
Presented at 48%, with no added colour or chill filtration for maximum flavour.

GlenAllachie 25 Year Old 1995 Xtra Old Particular Douglas Laing (70cl, 58.5%)
Glenallachie distillery was built by Mackinlays in 1967 to meet the demands of its blends following an upturn in sales in the US. In its short history it has passed through the hands of Invergordon Distillers and Pernod-Ricard. During this period the focus was always on the provision of blends, with over 20 years between the first Mackinlay’s distillery bottlings of its single malt and the next official release from Chivas Brothers in 2005. Now in the hands of Billy Walker and being pushed as a single malt brand since 2017, prior to this, the only real opportunity to try Glenallachie was through sought after independent bottlings like this.
Old Particular is Douglas Laing’s flagship label, and was launched in 2013 after their Old Malt Cask series became part of the portfolio of the newly established Hunter Laing. Xtra Old Particular is the premium version of the brand, and is reserved for casks the company considers the Laing “family jewels.”
This Glenallachie was distilled in March 1995 and aged in a single refill hogshead until being bottled in April 2020.
One of 254 bottles.
GlenAllachie 30 Year Old Cask Strength Batch #2 (70cl, 50.8%)
THE GLENALLACHIE 30 YEAR OLD CASK STRENGTH
From the outset of working with the GlenAllachie spirit, Master Blender Billy Walker continually expressed his desire to use our vintage stocks to craft a truly outstanding thirty year old. With this objective in mind, he has meticulously supervised the development of the slumbering whisky within each earmarked cask until optimal interaction between distillery and wood was achieved.
Bottled at cask strength of 50.8%, non chillfiltered and at natural colour, this small batch release truly showcases GlenAllachie in its purest form, the perfect unison of cask and distillery character.
A combination of eight hand-selected PX, Oloroso and virgin oak casks, Batch 2 is limited to just 2,000 bottles worldwide.
GlenAllachie 4 Year Old Future Edition Billy Walker 50th Anniversary Series (70cl, 60.2%)
The final release in the Billy Walker 50th Anniversary collection from Glenallachie, this young, feisty single malt represents Billy’s future endeavours. Made with Speyside peat from St Fergus and matured in a combination of ex-bourbon, ex-rye whiskey and virgin oak casks for four years, it was bottled in August 2022 and marks the first single malt that Billy has overseen from start to finish since he became master distiller in 2017. Aromas of toasted honeycomb, dried fruits, hazelnuts, dark chocolate, smouldering oak and cinnamon apples fill the nose, complemented by notes of stewed pears, toasted almonds, heather honey, vanilla toffee, smoked barley and ripe apples throughout the palate.
The third and final installment of GlenAllachie’s Past, Present and Future Series, celebrating master distiller Billy Walker’s 50 year career in the whisky industry! The series ends in style, with this Future Edition, GlenAllachie’s first peated single malt, perhaps giving us a hint at what to expect from the distillery in years to come. Produced from the first spirit distilled under Billy Walker’s ownership of the distillery, it was matured for four years in a selection of ex-rye, ex-bourbon, and virgin oak casks and bottled up at a hearty 60.2% ABV.

To craft The GlenAllachie Wine Series, we first expertly matured our spirit in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels.

With the country’s highest wine classification as a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC), this historic region is a significant producer of robust, characterful red wines. The barriques selected have imparted richness of both colour and flavour to our Speyside malt, offering decadent layers of dried stone fruits and delicate hints of warming spice.

This GlenAllachie has been finished in rye casks!

Eventually it was bottled at nine years old at 48% ABV, full of sufficiently spicy notes from the cask finish.
Meikle Tòir The Chinquapin One (70cl, 48%)
From the first series of whiskies by Meikle Tòir, a peated whisky brand made at GlenAllachie Distillery with the assistance of expert whisky maker Billy Walker, whose influence can certainly be seen here with this innovative cask profile. The single malt Scotch whisky, peated to 35ppm (using mainland St. Fergus peat, a sweeter variety than its coastal counterparts) and fermented for a lengthy 160 hours fermentation, was aged in American oak bourbon barrels followed by Chinquapin virgin oak casks, a bold barrel that imparts big, sweet, and rich flavours.
Meikle Tòir The Original (70cl, 50%)
The Meikle Tòir range (meaning ‘big pursuit’ and pronounced mee-kuhl tor) comprises peated whisky made at GlenAllachie Distillery with guidance from legendary master distiller Billy Walker. The Original is a single malt made with mainland peat from St. Fergus, a sweeter, grassier variety than found on the coast. The barley was peated to 35ppm and then the whisky was aged in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels, American virgin oak casks, and rye barrels. It was bottled at 50% ABV without chill-filtration or additional colouring.
Meikle Tòir The Sherry One (70cl, 48%)
Meikle Tòir The Sherry One is a peated whisky made at GlenAllachie Distillery using mainland peat from St. Fergus. The whisky was peated to 35ppm and benefited from a lengthy fermentation period of 160 hours to create a fruity, complex spirit that could stand up to ageing in sherry casks, which is exactly what it did. Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry puncheons, to be exact, following an initial maturation in American oak bourbon barrels. One for fans of smoke and sherry.
White Heather 15 Year Old (70cl, 46%)
This is a 15 year old blended Scotch whisky from the White Heather range, created by master blender Billy Walker. For this expression, malt whiskies from Speyside, Islay, and the Highlands have been used, alongside grain whisky. Whisky was drawn from ex-bourbon barrels and hogshead, as well as Spanish sherry butts, then blended together expertly. Following that, it was reracked into Pedro Ximénez sherry, Oloroso sherry, and American virgin oak casks.

The folks at GlenAllachie (including the legendary Billy Walker) have gone and made a blended Scotch whisky! White Heather 21 Year Old is made with whiskies from Speyside, the Highlands and Islay, aged in first-fill American barrels, sherry butts, and second-fill barrels and hogsheads. The blend also enjoyed three years of additional maturation in Pedro Ximénez puncheons, Oloroso puncheons, and Appalachian virgin oak casks. The name comes from a blended whisky brand that was discontinued back in the 1980s, which was acquired by The GlenAllachie Distillers Company in 2017.
