Description
Glenallachie 7Y Hungarian Oak Finish 70CL This Glenallachie seven-year-old is part of the Batch 3 Virgin oak series released in March 2023 and was aged in American oak barrels – followed by an 18-month rest in virgin Hungarian oak casks – bringing out subtle flavour nuances between different oak species.
Glenallachie distillery was established in 1967 in Speyside, and since 2017 has been the playground of master distiller Billy Walker – a 50-year veteran in the Scotch whisky industry. Under his watchful eye, the Glenallachie distillery has launched several innovative whisky expressions and series.
An impressive addition to batch three of GlenAllachie’s Virgin Oak Series. This single malt spent seven years maturing, initially in American oak bourbon barrels, before spending around 18 months finishing in fresh Hungarian oak casks.
