This GlenAllachie 12 Year Old has been finished in Sauternes casks, crafted from the rare white grapes of Bordeaux and famed for their sweetness brought on by the ‘noble rot’—a natural process that dries the grapes and intensifies their sugars. The carefully selected hogsheads have lent the whisky sumptuous flavours of ripe peach, rich caramel sauce, and a gentle warmth of stem ginger, beautifully complementing its naturally honeyed character.

Glenallachie is a malt whisky distillery in Aberlour founded in 1967. Billy Walker, Graham Stevenson and Trisha Savage came together as The GlenAllachie Distillers Company Ltd to purchase the distillery in 2017.  Across the senior team the three directors of The GlenAllachie Distillers Company have almost 100 years experience in the Scotch whisky industry.

The distillery draws its water from spring fed and snow water fed streams on Ben Rinnes. It uses lightly peated malts.  The distillery uses a semi-lauter mash tun, and six stainless steel washbacks. It uses two lantern shaped wash stills, and two onion shaped spirit stills for distillation.  The distilled spirit is matured in used oak bourbon barrels.
