GlenAllachie Cask Strength Batch #3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old
In stock
The next instalment in GlenAllachie's highly-anticipated annual release has arrived: The GlenAllachie 30-year-old Batch 3. To craft this elegant expression, esteemed Master Blender Billy Walker carefully selected eight casks from the finest vintage stock that had been slumbering in the on-site warehouses for over three decades. A true celebration of GlenAllachie's bold and complex house style, this latest batch showcases the merits of patience and perseverance, coupled with Billy Walker's half-century of instinct and knowledge gathered throughout his famed career.
Dating back to the early ’90s, the whisky within each cask boasted full-bodied, smooth character which was further elevated when unified. With heavily Sherried influence, several Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso hogsheads were expertly married with premium American virgin oak casks to create this exquisite limited release. Exuding classic GlenAllachie honeyed charm, expect a refined palate to match this malt’s enticing mahogany hue. Abundant with flavours of stewed plums, warming cinnamon and smooth caramel, this indulgent, cask strength delight is just as exceptional as you would expect.

Bursting with roasted almonds, honey and orchard fruits, with hints of worn leather and butterscotch, followed by orange zest and dark chocolate.
Palate
Rich, full-bodied and warming, the palate unfolds grape must, hazelnut and honeycomb, followed by citrus fruits and toffee brittle. Ginger spice with cinnamon rises, leaving mocha on a long, satisfying finish.
