GlenAllachie Single Chinquapin Cask #6894 Whisky 14 Year Old · 2008 Vintage
In stock
This is the eighth batch of single casks specially selected for the UK, each demonstrating the unique interaction of the wood, spirit and subsequent flavour extension. Renowned for his experimental spirit, Billy has enjoyed working with virgin oak cask sourced from each corner of the world. This particular Cinquapin barrel was crafted from oak grown in the Northern Ozark region of Missouri in America. Delivering delicate hints of cinnamon and notes of aniseed alongside runny Scottich heather honey and sweet stine fruits, this extremely limited, glorious single malt is one to be savoured.
