TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: Upon opening, this whisky reveals an expressive and captivating nose. The initial scents evoke young and resinous oak bark, quickly followed by delicate floral notes reminiscent of a spring flower field. The aromas then become more complex with hints of cherries in syrup and a touch of intense dark chocolate.
PALATE: On the palate, GlenAllachie 10 years Batch 11 offers a rich and balanced sensory experience. A soft sweetness of sugar syrup and honey harmonizes with a slight spice of young oak and cocoa beans. The flavors of candied cherries, burnt plum jam, and raisins enrich this palette, supported by persistent notes of dark chocolate.
FINISH: The finish is long, warm, and deeply comforting. It leaves a lingering impression of dark chocolate and cocoa beans, softened by a fruity sweetness of dried cherries and liqueur. A subtle woody note, reminiscent of a freshly planed oak board, completes this memorable tasting experience.

Specially selected by Billy Walker, limited edition: 1,800 cases, matured in Bourbon casks and finished in Premier Cru Classé barrels, aged in Speyside, non-chill filtered, with no added coloring. Factors such as the oak essence, the toasting level, and the cooperage of the cask each leave a unique mark on the spirit at rest. The oak itself was previously influenced by the grape variety and the terroir of the wine estate from which these barrels originate; thus, the wood adds distinct layers of complexity, depth, and charm. These French oak barrels were sourced from one of the five Premier Cru Classé châteaux located in the Bordeaux wine region of France, which is globally renowned.

This mahogany malt obtains its spicy, treacly flavours from maturation in hogsheads made of Spanish Oak (Quercus Robur). This particular wood was sourced from the regions of Galicia and Asturias, specifically from the forests of the Cantabrian Mountains, which have a cool, humid climate. The oak was air dried for around 18 months and then toasted and charred to a medium level, opening up the oak to allow our complex spirit to extract its cask character. The secondary ageing in these virgin casks deepened the mahogany hue of the whisky and created a palate rich with dried fruits, maraschino cherries and hints of stem ginger.

A watchful eye throughout the maturation journey ensures the whisky is bottled at its optimum.
