4cl sample of the Ballechin 2006 Moscato Passito Cask #801 - 53,8% The distillery lies a few miles west of Pitlochry near Moulin and belongs to the Highlands whisky region. It was probably founded in 1825 and is the only Scottish distillery still preserved entirely in the style of the old farmhouse distilleries.

Today's production capacity is around 500,000 litres of pure alcohol per year, after an extension to the distillery came into operation in February 2018. As the original Ballechin distillery no longer exists, the peated version of Edradour is offered under this name.

4cl Sample of Glenallachie 2012 Cuvée Cask Finish Cuvée – that’s French and comes from the world of winemaking. Derived from the word “cuve” for cask or tank, it describes the blending of different wines, which are bottled under one label. Winemakers thus combine the characteristics and aromas of specific wine-growing regions or grape varieties into a delicious balance. This process requires great finesse in both wine and whisky production. A job for Billy Walker. Billy Walker has already demonstrated his blending skills, acquired over 50 years of experience, several times in the form of whisky cuvées for Kirsch customers. Now, the living legend has selected and combined barrels and barrique casks to create The GlenAllachie Cuvée Cask Finish 2012/2023. The single malt initially matured in bourbon barrels. For the finishing process, Billy Walker used various wine casks, namely Pedro Ximenez puncheons, Moscatel barriques, and Ruby Port pipes.

The core range of The GlenAllachie consists of single malts aged at least eight years. Their hallmark: they mature mainly in first-class sherry casks. An outstanding example is The GlenAllachie 21 y.o. With more than half a century of expertise, Master Blender Billy Walker married hand-picked Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry puncheons and hogsheads for the cask strength Batch 6. The result? A rich, luxurious single malt that glazes the palate with layered notes of syrup, maraschino cherries, dark chocolate and candied ginger. Tasting Notes: Nose: Ripe dark cherries and brandy-soaked honeycomb, with notes of spiced orange, thick syrup and blackberry tart. Palate: Dark chocolate, dried red berries and maraschino cherries, followed by heather honey and candied ginger. Finish: Plum brandy and mocha.
