Glenallachie 10 Years Old Cask Strength Batch 9 58.1% NV

Professional reviews

BOW (88)

The GlenAllachie gets its name from the Gaelic words Gleann Aileachaidh, which means Valley of the Rocks.
"Our 10-year-old Cask Strength batches are a representation of where we are taking The GlenAllachie," said Master Distiller Billy Walker. The ninth edition of this sought-after release is no exception, displaying the richness and complexity of our honeyed spirit after maturation in the best oak casks.
Guided by 50 years of experience and fueled by his passion for wood management, Billy created Batch 9 with perfection in mind. This mahogany-colored malt is a blend of spirit from Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry casks, Rioja barriques, and American Virgin Oak barrels with a medium char and medium toast. It stands proudly alongside its predecessors, providing classic Sherried notes of luxurious dark chocolate and dried fruits, coupled with sweet spices and red berries. This highly prized release is presented at its natural cask strength of 58.1%.
