GlenAllachie Virgin Oak Series - Spanish Oak Wood Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old
Out of stock
Part of GlenAllachie’s Virgin Oak Series, this 12 year old single malt was bottled in 2020 at 48% ABV after finishing in Spanish virgin oak casks, following initial maturation in American oak.
Spanish oak is known for imparting rich sweetness, dried fruit depth and warming spice, adding body and structure to GlenAllachie’s naturally full-bodied, malt-forward Speyside spirit. The finishing period enhances richness and complexity while preserving the distillery’s characteristic balance of fruit, malt and oak.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm honey-gold sheen.
Nose
Inviting aroma of vanilla and malty sweetness, unfolding into dried fruits—figs and raisins—woven with honeyed caramel and gentle warming spice. Spanish virgin oak lends a glossy sweetness, subtle almond notes, and a resinous, oak-driven depth that hints at the richness to come.
Palate
On the palate, a rich, full-bodied malt delivers creamy vanilla, toffee and ripe dried fruit—figs and prunes—balanced by warm spice of cinnamon and clove. Spanish virgin oak adds subtle tannin and structure, enhancing sweetness without compromising balance. Silky, indulgent texture with a long, caramel-laden finish.
Finish
An elegant, long finish of dried fruit sweetness and warming spice. Spanish Virgin Oak lends body and depth, weaving fig and raisin with vanilla and a kiss of cinnamon. The malt remains at the core, guiding a refined, persistent fade that envelopes the palate in balanced oak and subtle sweetness.
