The distillery: back in Scottish private ownership since 2017
\nFounded 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.
\nThe 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Cuv\u00e9e – this is French and comes from the world of winegrowers. Derived from the word “cuve” for barrel or tank, it describes the blending of different wines that are bottled under one label. Winemakers thus combine the characteristics and aromas of certain wine-growing regions or grape varieties to create a delicious balance. The process requires great sensitivity in both wine and whisky production. A case for Billy Walker.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Billy Walker has already demonstrated the art of blending he has acquired in 50 years of experience several times in the form of whisky cuv\u00e9es for Kirsch customers. Now, the living legend selected and combined barrels and casks to create the first official The GlenAllachie Cuv\u00e9e Cask Finish 2012\/2022.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The single malt was initially matured in bourbon barrels. For the finishing, Billy Walker used various barrique casks made of European oak, partly from the famous regions of Languedoc and Valpolicella, partly from Premier Cru Class\u00e9 ch\u00e2teaux in Bordeaux. Artfully blended, the limited release offers elegant stone fruits, notes of toasted almonds and zesty orange peel on the palate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tasting Notes:<\/p>\n

Nose: Powerful aromas of orange blossom, espresso, maraschino cherries and honeysuckle, with notes of candied stone fruits, hazelnuts, lavender and cinnamon.<\/p>\n

Palate: Notes of dark chocolate, redcurrants and roasted coffee beans, followed by crystallised almonds, blackberries and orange zest, with ginger and liquorice in the finish.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":132213,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2258,2396,10242,2204,2276,2512,2170],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-131827","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-distilleries-en","product_cat-glenallachie-en","product_cat-regions","product_cat-scotland-en","product_cat-single-malt-en","product_cat-speyside-en","product_cat-whisky-en","pa_bottling_date-2022-en","pa_cask_type-americanoak-en","pa_cask_type-european-wine-barriques-finish-en","pa_country-schottland-en-2","pa_destillation_age-9-en","pa_destillation_date-2012-en-2","pa_region-speyside-en","pa_whisky_bottler-destillen-original-abfuellung-en","pa_whisky_bottler_series-wine-series-en","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\nGlenallachie 2012 Cuv\u00e9e Wine Cask Finish -
