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. A French term, ‘Cuvée’ is used in the wine sector to reference a blend that typically comprises more than one variety of grape. Likewise, the 9-year-old Cuvée is a marriage of spirit from several fine wine casks sourced from the world-renowned regions of Bordeaux, Languedoc and Valpolicella.

The character development of each individual barrique was carefully monitored, before the whiskies were expertly blended together by Billy. The resulting golden liquid offers up elegant stone fruits, hints of toasted almonds and zesty orange peel on the palate. This limited expression is bottled unchilfiltered for flavour with no added colouring at 48% ABV.

GlenAllachie is a Scottish whisky distillery located in the Speyside region of Scotland. It was founded in 1967 by William Delmé-Evans, who was also responsible for designing and building the distillery.

GlenAllachie was initially used as a blending whisky for the Mackinlay McPherson and White Horse blends, but it was eventually purchased by Pernod Ricard in 1989 and became part of the Chivas Brothers portfolio.

In 2017, GlenAllachie was sold to a group of investors led by Billy Walker, a veteran of the whisky industry who had previously worked at other distilleries such as BenRiach and GlenDronach. Under his leadership, GlenAllachie has undergone a significant transformation, with the release of new expressions and the expansion of its production facilities.

GlenAllachie produces a range of single malt whiskies, including 10-year-old, 12-year-old, and 15-year-old expressions, as well as cask strength and limited edition bottlings. The whisky is known for its fruity and floral notes, as well as its smooth and balanced flavour profile.
