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.
