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.

This rare and unique Single Cask, drawn from cask #803475, comes from an Oloroso Puncheon and was aged for 10 years in the GlenAllachie distillery warehouses. Each cask is monitored with meticulous attention to capture and enhance the essence of its contents at the time of bottling. Uncolored and non-chill filtered, this whisky thus preserves all its authenticity and natural complexity. This cask strength whisky at 62.2% ABV reveals the perfect marriage between the Sherry-soaked Spanish oak and the distillate. This type of whisky, bottled directly from the cask, offers a raw intensity and a richness of aromas and flavors that only undiluted spirits can reveal.
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 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.
