GlenAllachie er kommet med en ny aftapning i serien Master of Wood, en 17 års Mizunara & Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish.
Som navnet angiver, har denne aftapning ligget på Mizunara oak barrels og Oloroso Sherry puncheons og hogsheads
Billy Walker siger om aftapningen: "As a chemist, I find both cask management and blending truly fascinating. This release combines the finest and rarest of casks with carefully considered blending. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Mizunara, a very uncommon Japanese oak that provides exceptional character but, in turn, throws plenty of challenges our way. Having said that, the result is beyond worth the trials and tribulations.
The flavour delivery from the Mizunara barrels, interwoven with the nutty, spicy character of the Oloroso casks, culminates in a spectacular single malt with delectable notes of apple strudel, runny honey, chocolate-covered hazelnuts and stem ginger. This is indulgence at its finest."

Billy Walker har aftappet den hidtil ældste whisky fra GlenAllachie.
3 Pedro Ximénez fade, et Oloroso fad og to virgin oak casks fra 1989 er viet. Dette er blevet til denn 35 års aftapning.
GlenAllachie 35 er aftappet ved 48%.
Billy Walker siger selv om aftapningen:
“The 35-year-old is a testament to The GlenAllachie’s dedication, patience and relentless pursuit of perfection. Unifying the six spectacular casks has created the perfect equilibrium between the sweet influence of Pedro Ximénez, the nutty contribution of Oloroso, and the spiciness of the virgin oak. The amalgamation entails a truly spectacular single malt with opulent notes of spiced caramel, rich espresso, tropical fruits and dark chocolate truffles. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a bottle, it’s a whisky to be treasured.”
Noter (GlenAllachie):
Nose: Mocha, cinnamon, heather honey and pineapple, with hints of raisins, pomegranate and eucalyptus.
Taste: Dark chocolate, mocha, raisins and dried fruit, fusing with heather honey, treacle and pineapple, with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
Pris: £1,479

Kilchoman har tidligere benyttet sig af fade der tidligere har indeholdt sauterne, dog kun som en fininsh.
Denne aftapning har udelukkende ligget på sauterne fade
"Anthony Wills, Kilchoman Founder, selected a combination of fresh and refill Sauternes barriques from two separate years, the youngest being from 2018, creating an extraordinary balance of buttery sweetness, barbecued pineapple, candied ginger and floral peat smoke."
22% af fadene er first-fill og 78% er re-fill sauterne fade.
Noter (Kilchoman):
Nose: Creamy, buttery notes with ripe fruits, a hint of salty sea air and subtle peat smoke.
Palate: Butterscotch and floral notes combine with tropical and candied fruits with integrated peat smoke flowing throughout.
Finish: Sweetness continues onto the finish, balanced with clean lingering smoke and rich texture.
Kilchoman Sauternes Cask er aftappet ved 50%

Lørdag den 19. august 1848 sejlede 800 både ud fra Wick harbour for at fiske. En storm på nordsøen gjorde at fiskerne ikke kunne i havn grundet tidevand. Flere forsøgte at komme i havn, men omkom i forsøget. 37 liv gik tabt, disse mænd efterlod 17 enker og 63 børn. Dagen er sidenhen blevet kaldt af de lokale for Black Saturday.
Denne 10 års Wolfburn aftapning der går under samme navn, Black Saturday, bruges til indsamling til Seafarers Memorial Group.
Noter (Wolfburn):
Nose: Initially smoky with hints of fruit and fresh sea air, accompanied by vanilla and oak wood-shavings.
Palate: Floral notes abound, followed by raisins and light spices. Malty flavours open up on the palate, with soft honey sweetness at the finish.
Finish: Soft peaty tones ensure a smooth and lingering finish. Hugely enjoyable.
Black Saturday er aftappet ved 46% og koster ca. 594 dkr.
