Glenallachie distillery was built by Mackinlays in 1967 to meet the demands of its blends following an upturn in sales in the US. In its short history it has passed through the hands of Invergordon Distillers and Pernod-Ricard. During this period the focus was always on the provision of blends, with over 20 years between the first Mackinlay’s distillery bottlings of its single malt and the next official release from Chivas Brothers in 2005. Now in the hands of Billy Walker, Glenallachie is finally being pushed as an increasingly popular single malt brand since 2017.
The third batch of cask strength whisky from GlenAllachie distillery. This latest special release has been matured for 10 years in a combination of first and second-fill bourbon, PX puncheon, Oloroso hogsheads and virgin oak casks. GlenAllachie cask strength batch 3, bottled at 58.2% vol, dark chocolate, heather honey, sweet spices and orange peel.
