GlenAllachie 2012 Wine Cask Finish "Cuvée 9Y"

Specially selected by Billy Walker, Limited Release: 2,600 cases, Matured in ex-Bourbon barrels with secondary maturation in Grattamacco barriques, Matured in Speyside, Non-chill filtered, No added colouring.
Factors such as the oak species, level of toasting, and coopering of the cask each leave a unique mark on the slumbering spirit. The oak itself was previously influenced by the grape variety and terroir of the winery from which we sourced these barriques; thus, the wood adds distinctive layers of complexity, depth and charm.

This gift box contains a bottle of Abelha Organic Cachaça Silver, a muddler, and a cocktail book. Distilled in copper stills from freshly cut sugarcane organically grown in the Bahia region of Brazil, Abelha stands a cut above many firewater cachaças, possessing an extremely pure and tangy agricultural character.

TASTING NOTESCOLOR The ABK6 Orange Liqueur is a delicate combination of cognac (51%) and orange liqueur (49%), offering a golden colour with beautiful amber nuances.NOSE The first nose opens on orange zest, the second reveals notes of bitter candy accompanied by a small floral hint that combines everything.PALATE Flavors of candied orange peel and marmalade line the palate. The finish is long and delicate.

Matured for 18 years, this is indulgent and spicy thanks to the casks selected for maturation.

This deliciously fruity whisky enjoyed initial maturation in premium American oak ex-Bourbon barrels for over 8 years. Adding further complexity, the spirit was then transferred into specially elected Moscatel casks for a finishing period of over 42 months. A particularly aromatic dessert wine produced in Portugal, these Moscatel barriques offer up floral aromas, coupled with a silky-smooth mouthfeel. Delivering distinctive notes of tart fruit and rich toffee, this bronzed malt is one to be savoured.

The apples are mixed, crushed and pressed. The apple juice is fermented right out to give cider to be distilled. Double distillation is carried out 6 months after the fermentation has taken place. The first distillation gives the "petite eau" at 30% by volume and it is the second distillation, that of the "petite eau" which gives the Calvados.
Aging: Two years minimum. In toasted 400 l (88 imperial gallon) oak barrels, 50% of which are new.
