GlenAllachie 11 Year Old Grattamacco Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The GlenAllachie 11 Year Old Grattamacco Cask Finish is a smooth and distinctive single malt that highlights the distillery’s innovative cask programme. Initially matured in American oak, the whisky underwent secondary ageing in casks sourced from Grattamacco, one of Tuscany’s esteemed Bolgheri wine producers. These red wine casks impart layers of fruit, chocolate, and subtle espresso, resulting in a whisky of elegance and depth. Bottled at natural colour and non-chill filtered, this expression showcases GlenAllachie’s dedication to quality and experimentation.

What makes The GlenAllachie Distillery Stand Out?
Founded in 1967 in the heart of Speyside, GlenAllachie has earned a strong reputation under Master Distiller Billy Walker for its small-batch production and innovative wood management. By sourcing casks from exceptional wine estates such as Grattamacco, the distillery continues to expand the flavour possibilities of single malt whisky. Each release reflects both tradition and innovation, making GlenAllachie one of the most exciting distilleries in Scotland today.
