Der kommer 100 flasker af denne, aftappet ved 42,2%. Aftapningen blev frigivet i forbindelse med 200 års dagen for Glenlivet distillery.

These are matched in the deep warmth of toasted hazelnut and the indulgent richness of dark chocolate, finishing with the spiced warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Palate: Deep and warming flavours of homemade blackcurrant jam, vanilla fudge, and dark chocolate, balanced with zesty orange and crystallised ginger before closing with a touch of warming clove spice.

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.”
