GlenAllachie present the sixth batch of UK exclusive single casks, each demonstrating the unique interaction of the wood, spirit, and subsequent flavour extension. Billy, who is passionate about sourcing unique and innovative casks from niche producers, personally sought out this extraordinary Premier Cru Classé from France (2011 #1036).
Premier Cru Classé is a French wine classification relating to the most well-respected vineyards and highly-coveted wines of Bordeaux. Aging our complex GlenAllachie spirit in this red wine cask brings elegant notes of ripe red berries, sugared almonds and sweet cinnamon.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Garnet-tinted amber with coppery highlights
Nose
A bright, inviting bouquet of apple peel with cinnamon and heather honey, interwoven with rose petals, dark chocolate and a kiss of Turkish delight.
Palate
Silky butterscotch, honeysuckle and mint rise on the palate, giving way to bright bursts of strawberry, ginger and almonds for a sweet-spiced, elegant balance.
Finish
Long, elegant finish of ripe red berries and sugared almonds, with cinnamon spice lingering. A warm, creamy echo of butterscotch and mint fades to a berry-kissed, refined close.
