Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh bursts of green apple and juicy pear glide over layers of vanilla fudge, honeycomb and a hint of toasted coconut. Palate: Silky waves of butterscotch, pineapple upside-down cake and sweet malt mingle with cinnamon bark, white-pepper warmth and a touch of lemon zest. Finish: Medium-long and gently drying—lingering vanilla cream, soft oak tannin and a final flash of spiced shortbread.
Savour the vivid Speyside character of GlenAllachie 12 Year Old – 2006 Vintage, Single Cask Batch #1. Hand-selected by Master Blender Billy Walker, this whisky slumbered in Bourbon Barrel #27979 before being bottled at natural cask strength. With only 203 individually numbered bottles released, it captures GlenAllachie’s orchard-fruit sweetness and honeyed malt embellished by creamy vanilla, coconut and lively oak spice from first-fill American oak. Presented non-chill-filtered and at natural colour, this limited single-cask gem offers an unfiltered taste of the distillery’s modern renaissance.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • Drawn from a single first-fill bourbon barrel—only 203 bottles worldwide.

  • 12 years of maturation showcase bright orchard fruit, honeyed malt and creamy American-oak sweetness.

  • Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered and natural colour for full texture and flavour integrity.

  • Exemplifies Billy Walker’s meticulous single-cask selections and GlenAllachie’s signature balance of freshness, sweetness and subtle spice.

Enjoy a rare snapshot of GlenAllachie’s youthful vibrancy wrapped in rich bourbon-cask charm—an essential addition for collectors and Speyside enthusiasts alike.

The Distillery

Glenallachie
Glenallachie Distillery, located on the eastern edge of Ben Rinnes Mountain in Scotland’s prestigious Speyside whisky region, is renowned for its picturesque setting, often nestled within the snowline and exposed to the natural elements. Designed by architect William Delmé-Evans, the modern yet aesthetically pleasing distillery seamlessly blends contemporary architecture with the rugged beauty of its Highland surroundings. Commissioned in 1967 with two stills, Glenallachie expanded to four stills in 1989 to accommodate the growing demand for its distinctive Glenallachie malt whisky, a staple in many renowned whisky blends. While official distillery releases are limited, independent bottlers such as Signatory Vintage and Cadenheads offer a more extensive range of Glenallachie single malts, making them highly sought after by whisky enthusiasts and collectors. Glenallachie Distillery continues to uphold its reputation for quality and craftsmanship, contributing significantly to both single malt and blended Scotch whisky markets worldwide.
