Glenallachie 2014 Best Dram #9900180 – 57,8%

Discerning connoisseurs know him: Michel Reick, the whisky druid. As the owner of four established brands, this independent bottler is unique in the scene. He personally selects limited edition single casks for his Best Dram bottlings on site in Scotland. Always cask strength, never chill-filtered or coloured, the range includes age-statement whiskies as well as a diverse selection of cask-finish bottlings.

Whiskies from Billy Walker, on the other hand, are rarely bottled independently. One of the exceptions is Glenallachie 2014/2025, which matured in a first-fill Madeira barrique, shedding new light on the Speyside single malt.
