The Distillery: Back in Private Scottish Ownership Since 2017
Founded in 1967, The GlenAllachie Distillery was owned by a foreign corporation for many years. In 2017, The GlenAllachie Distillers Company purchased the Speyside distillery—along with the filled casks in the warehouse. Its new owners: longtime Scottish whiskey expert Billy Walker and his partners Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson. The new team was introduced to the distillery’s unique features by long-time employees. Among these: The distillery has four stills and two separate spirit safes—allowing it to produce two different distillates simultaneously, such as peated and unpeated new make.
Until now, The GlenAllachie Distillery has produced almost exclusively for blended whiskies. Single malt, on the other hand, was extremely rare—available only through independent bottlers, for example. This changed in 2017 with the takeover by Billy Walker’s team. Age statements are important to The GlenAllachie for its single malts: The core range consists of 10-, 12-, 18-, and 25-year-old whiskies. In addition, regular single-cask and special releases are planned—and starting in 2018, even a smoky whisky.

Have you tried everything yet? With his Sinteis series (named after the Scottish Gaelic word for “synthesis”), Billy Walker invites you to discover untapped potential—specifically, in the fusion of sherry casks with characterful virgin oak casks. The latest release features rare Mongolian oak.
Unlike its predecessors, The GlenAllachie 2015/2026 – Sinteis Series Part IV takes a slightly different approach: Instead of blending two separately aged whiskies, Billy Walker first aged the whisky in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks before transferring it to Mongolian virgin oak barrels.
These barrels are incredibly rare, as the oak takes over a century to grow, and only trees that have fallen naturally may be harvested. With its dense and fine-grained structure, it imparts delicate notes of light caramel, honey, and floral nuances to the whiskey, which blend with the nutty, dark-fruity, and richly sweet characteristics of the sherry casks.
