GlenAllachie single cask release

Master Distiller Billy Walker der efter at have forladt BenRiach og GlenDronach har købt The GlenAllachie Distillery nær Aberlour i Speyside, kommer nu med de første aftapninger efter overtagelse.

Efter at have været igennem 40000 fade, har Billy Walker fundet sks fade der er blevet aftappet for at markere 50 året for destilleriets første produktion den 17. februar 1968.

Billy Walker siger blandt andet: “Even though GlenAllachie is one of the younger distilleries in Scotland, we are very fortunate in that we have casks of whisky stretching back to the early 1970s, in the first years after the site opened."

“The past few months since we bought the distillery and its stock have been so exciting for the whole team. I’ve been able to try samples from some really remarkable casks of Scotch and to study how the spirit has evolved over time.

“I’ve been involved in distilling whiskies for much of my forty-year career in the industry, but I’ve seldom come across such a high-quality collection of casks.”

“What’s particularly exciting about these special-edition single cask bottles is that we’ll be able to demonstrate the really high quality of GlenAllachie as a standalone whisky."
