Glenallachie 12 Year Old Spanish 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 rich bronze malt attains its spicy, treacly flavours from hogsheads made of Spanish Oak (Quercus Robur) sourced from Galicia and Asturias regions, more specifically, the Cantabrian Mountains which have a cooler climate and greater humidity. Before being filled, the wood is air-dried for around 18 months, opening up the oak for the GlenAllachie spirit to extract the cask character.
