GlenAllachie PX Puncheon 14 Y - 2009 804307

Built in 1819 by Hugh Munro and his brother, wealthy landlords in the north of Scotland. A distillery that is used as a Northern Highland base for many a blend due to it's rich and complex flavour profile. In 1933 the distillery is sold to DCL, and increases in 1970 from 4 to 6 pot stills. In 2014 a new distillery is built with 6 new Pot Stills.

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.

To extract all the delicate aromas from elderflower blossoms, the production of Merlet's Efferlet follows a precise process. First, the flowers are infused in hot water; once the tisane is cooled, it is stabilized with fine alcohol. This is followed by blending with fruit infusions (pear and lychee macerated in fine alcohol).

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.
