To create the GlenAllachie Wine Cask series, master blender Billy Walker first matured the spirit in the finest American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before transferring the whisky into hand-selected European wine casks for secondary aging.
Billy added a distinctive touch to this edition by blending four exceptional wine cask finishes into one unique expression: The Cuvée Wine Cask Finish.
The 9-year-old Cuvée is a marriage of spirits from several fine wine barrels originating from the world-renowned regions of Bordeaux, Languedoc, and Valpolicella.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE Orange blossoms, espresso, maraschino cherries, and honeysuckle, with notes of candied stone fruits, hazelnut, lavender, and cinnamon.
PALATE Dark chocolate, redcurrants, and burnt coffee beans, followed by crystallized almonds, blackberries, and orange zest.
FINISH Ginger and licorice.

Miracielo is produced by hand using the original La Antigua Guatemala recipe from 1953, in small batches.
During the ageing process, fresh plums, sultanas and vanilla are added by hand, macerating and giving it its unique aromatic profile. Symbolising its artisanal, hand-made profile, the leather collar that adorns its neck is also handmade.
Matured for 18 years, this is indulgent and spicy thanks to the casks selected for maturation.
This whisky was distilled on on 26th March 2010 and aged in a single ex-PX Sherry cask #804032 for 13 years.
688 bottles were produced for Belgium.
