GlenAllachie 18 Year Old (70cl, 46%)
The glorious single malt from GlenAllachie, produced under the watchful eye of its legendary Master Distiller Billy Walker! With fifty years in the blending biz, Billy certainly knows how to select and marry the best casks, and this 18-year-old expression is a superb testament to that talent. Casks were selected from across the distillery’s 16 warehouses, some of which date back to the 1970s. Impressive stuff as ever with all those classic notes of nutty toffee, robust malt, and honeyed fruit that GlenAllachie does so well.
GlenAllachie 17 Year Old Mizunara & Oloroso Cask Finish (70cl, 50%)
GlenAllachie’s master distiller Billy Walker is a bit of a wizard when it comes to wood management! Here he’s worked his magic once again with an exceptional single malt matured for 17 years in a combo of rare Japanese mizunara oak casks and oloroso sherry puncheons and hogsheads. Bottled at a robust 50% ABV, without added colour or chill filtration, it’s a splendidly indulgent and complex expression from the ever-impressive Speysider.
GlenAllachie 16 Year Old Billy Walker 50th Anniversary Present Edition (70cl, 48%)
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.

Originally added to the GlenAllachie core range in 2019, this 15-year-old single malt underwent a redesign in 2024. The whisky was treated to a finishing period in sherry casks before bottling.
