GlenAllachie The Wood Collection - Sauternes Wine Single Malt Scotch Whisky (UK Exclusive) 12 Year Old
In stock
GlenAllachie The Wood Collection Sauternes Wine 12 Year Old is a UK-exclusive single malt finished in specially selected Sauternes wine casks. Sauternes, a prestigious sweet wine from Bordeaux, is made using grapes affected by noble rot, which concentrates their sugars and creates rich, complex flavours.
This careful cask finish imparts luscious notes of ripe peach, caramel sauce, and stem ginger to GlenAllachie’s signature honey-forward spirit. Bottled at 48% ABV, natural colour, and non-chill filtered, this expression allows the unique influence of the Sauternes casks to shine through while retaining the distillery’s characteristic elegance and balance.
A refined and characterful single malt that showcases GlenAllachie’s expertise in innovative cask finishing.
