‘Sinteis’ (pronounced sin-teesh), meaning ‘synthesis’ in Scottish Gaelic, embodies our cask creativity as we combine the bold with the beloved. Two distinct casks. One harmonious synthesis.
FRENCH VIRGIN OAK
The French virgin oak casks are crafted from Limousin oak sourced from the forests of central France, prized for their wide grain structure, which encourages greater interaction between spirit and wood. Air-dried for 15 months before hosting The GlenAllachie spirit, the oak imparts notes of honey and orange peel with gentle spice and subtle earthy undertones.
OLOROSO SHERRY
Subjected to extensive ageing without a ‘flor’ yeast layer, Oloroso, which roughly translates to ‘fragrant’, is the darkest dry Sherry style renowned for its pronounced nutty, dried fruit qualities.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE Orange zest, nutmeg and dried orchard fruits, with honeycomb, maraschino cherries, mocha and crystallised brown sugar.
PALATE Heather honey, spiced orange and baked apple, followed by winter truffle, muscovado sugar and cinnamon.
FINISH Hazelnuts and mocha on the finish.

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.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE Elegant and floral, marked by the softness of sakura and the freshness of yuzu, subtly lifted by a delicate herbal note.
PALATE Delicate and well-balanced. The floral opening of the sakura harmonizes with citrus fruits and bitter orange peel, while licorice and coriander seeds add a subtle complexity.
FINISH Airy and refined, with lingering floral notes and a touch of zesty freshness, leaving a soft and harmonious impression.
