GlenAllachie Single Peated Bourbon Cask #806890 Whisky 9 Year Old · 2012 Vintage
In stock
Billy Walker is leading the way with innovation and is passionate about experimenting with unorthodox cask types, one of which being a Peated Bourbon barrel (2012 #806890).
Hand-selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker, this golden malt was initially aged in a fresh ex-Bourbon cask before being reracked into a first-fill sherry hogshead for secondary maturation. Continuously monitored and evaluated, the spirit was then transferred into an American oak cask which had previously matured a heavily peated spirit distilled at GlenAllachie. This unusual cask type has enriched the spirit with peat influence, offering hints of smoke on the nose and caramelised sugar on the palate.
