The second batch of cask strength 10 year old from Billy Walker's new baby, GlenAllachie. This one is just as rich and rewarding as the first. For those of you who were fans of Billy's work with BenRiach and GlenDronach, imagine a smashing together of those two styles and you'll come somewhat close to what has been accomplished with the core range from this exciting new brand from the Speyside region. Firm, spicy cask influence slams head on into deep fruit tones and the whole thing is served up at a natural cask strength of 54.8% abv. Brilliant stuff.
Evan's Tasting Note
Nose: big cereal and grain, newly sanded lumber, peaches and cream, pickled ginger, sliced pears, sesame seeds, cake fondant and white chocolate.
Palate: juicy and creamy with lots of fruit and big spice notes at the front along with beer nuts, cashews, toasty and also green oak, honeydew melon, pineapples, sweet Thai chili sauce and spicy ginger.
Finish: spicy but sweet with a nutty note thrown in. It creates a warming sensation with a pleasant creaminess on the fade.
Comment: the spice is big but the sweetness and helps tame it. It tingles the tongue but stays deliciously approachable.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Heather honey, toffee apples and sweet spice, followed by layers of orange peel.
Palate: Oodles of heather honey, vanilla and toffee, with wonderful notes of eucalyptus, orange peel and Caribbean spices.

Limit 1 Per Customer! Part of the Distillery's core range, the 12 year is bottled unchill-filtered without added colouring after maturing in a mix of virgin oak as well as PX and Oloroso sherry casks.
The GlenAllachie 12 Year is one of the newly independent distillery’s first core releases, alongside a cask strength 10 Year, 18 Year and 25 Year. As with the BenRiach Distillery Co.’s whiskies, Billy Walker has opted to bottle at 46% without colouring or chill-filtering. That tugs at our heartstrings!
Distiller's Description
"In this era of mergers and consolidations we go against the grain; an independent, Scottish owned and managed whisky company. We chose to step away from the corporate treadmill and short-term targets. Instead, we focus on the important things; making great whisky and enjoying life.
"It is in this tradition that we would like to introduce the most important release in the history of The GlenAllachie Distillers Company; GlenAllachie 12 year old, the heart of our range, a landmark bottling. Our best casks selected and bottled under the careful eye of our Master Distiller Billy Walker."

The GlenAllachie 18-year-old is back, in new livery... but little else has changed... it is still bottled at 46% after maturing in American oak ex-Bourbon and ex Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks.
Producer Description
"This opulent Scotch whisky was patiently perfected in the finest oak casks for 18 long years. Silently slumbering in our on-site warehouses, the spirit underwent continual monitoring until Billy Walker deemed it had reached its pinnacle.
"With enticing aromas of honey and mocha, followed by marzipan and dark cherry tones on the palate, it’s a single malt oozing elegant refinement.
"We proudly present The GlenAllachie 18-year-old with integrity; at a high strength of 46%, without added colouring or chill filtration, allowing the unpeated whisky’s true character to reign supreme."

This whisky was featured on Day 2 of our 2025 KWM Still Not An Advent Calendar Tasting Series! You can read more about the whisky here.
The venerable 15-Year-Old from GlenAllachie has received an updated label which no longer looks like it came from the town of Bedrock as designed by a modern stone-age family. The new label hosts more readable fonts and a baby blue background.
First launched in 2019, The GlenAllachie 15 is said to be the "jewel in their crown" for the distillery. Bottled at 46%, the whisky was finished in puncheons and hogsheads that previously held Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry.
Producer Description
"This spectacular Scotch whisky embodies our unwavering dedication to obtaining Sherry wood of the highest standard. A watchful eye throughout the maturation journey ensures the whisky is bottled at its optimum."
