Glenallachie 12 Year Old Chinquapin Virgin Oak
Regular price $126.00
Having been crowned winners of the Scottish Distillery of the Year award at the inaugural Scottish Whisky Awards 2019, the team at GlenAllachie use their drive, passion and desire to create a single malt whisky to be proud of. As one of the few independently owned distilleries in Scotland, we are delighted to offer visitors the opportunity to embark on a tour of The GlenAllachie Distillery and hand-fill a bottle straight from the cask.
This exceptional malt gets its complex, zesty flavours from casks made of Chinquapin Oak (Quercus Muehlenbergii) sourced from the Northern Ozark region in Missouri. Chinquapin is a sub species of Quercus Alba and delivers spicy flavours and aromas. Air dried for almost four years, then toasted to medium level these casks give us the perfect balance of spirit and wood character.
