Description
Scotch whisky distillery The GlenAllachie today announces its oldest and most prestigious single malt expression to date: The GlenAllachie 35-year-old.
The leading independent producer is owned and managed by illustrious whisky maker of 52 years, Billy Walker. Over the course of his colourful career, Walker has earned an unparalleled reputation for his superlative cask management capabilities and sensory instinct.
The 35-year-old was devised to represent the distillery’s unwavering commitment to cask craftsmanship and boutique, small-batch whiskies.
Equipped with his decades of experience, Walker hand-selected six outstanding casks holding whisky dating back to the summer of 1989 for the landmark release.
Encased in a lavish oak box, the distinguished, antique single malt was matured in three Pedro Ximénez, one Oloroso and two virgin oak casks. The resulting spirit is said to “promise a luscious symphony of rich mocha, ripe pineapple, sweet spices and treacle tart”.
Handmade in the UK, the weighty presentation box features hand-carved detail on its base, luxurious moleskin-coloured lining, a solid brass ‘angle’, a plaque that champions the cask selection, and a removable oak plinth to hold the decanter.
