When it comes to playing with casks and their influence on single malts, Billy Walker is undisputedly a master. With his Virgin Oak Series, the industry legend goes one step further: the whiskies finished in unoccupied oak casks allow discerning fans to explore the taste of oak from all parts of the world, uninfluenced by sherry, wine and the like.
Today, the series has grown to include a trio that provides unusual pleasurable experiences – for example, thanks to refinement in rare Hungarian oak. The GlenAllachie 7 y.o. – Hungarian Oak Wood Finish was matured for 18 months in Quercus Petraea from the Zemplén forest in the mountains of north-eastern Hungary. The result: a balanced, silky whisky with spicy oak and soft berry notes.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Full-bodied with caramel, citrus and milk chocolate, with cinnamon, sultanas, fruit and ginger.
Palate: Lots of heather honey and cinnamon, followed by chocolate, lemon candy and caramelised brown sugar.

The distillery: back in Scottish private ownership since 2017
Founded in 1967, The GlenAllachie Distillery has long been foreign owned. In 2017, The GlenAllachie Distillers Company bought the distillery in Speyside – together with the filled casks in the warehouse. Its new owners: longtime Scotch whiskey luminary Billy Walker and his partners Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson. The new team was introduced to their special features by long-standing employees of the distillery. Below: The distillery has four stills and two separate spirit safes – and can therefore produce two different distillates in parallel, for example smoky and non-smoky New Make.
The GlenAllachie Distillery has so far produced almost exclusively blended whiskeys. Single malt, on the other hand, was extremely rarely available, for example through independent bottlers. This changed in 2017 with the takeover by Billy Walker’s team. Age information for its single malts is important to The GlenAllachie: The core range consists of a 10, 12, 18 and 25 year old whisky. In addition, regular single cask and special bottlings are planned – and from 2018 even a smoky whiskey.
