Introduced to The GlenAllachie core range in 2022 by Master Distiller Billy Walker, this 8-year-old single malt is matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry puncheons, with a small proportion of virgin oak casks and red wine barriques. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and naturally coloured, it delivers a rich yet balanced profile showcasing GlenAllachie’s sherry cask expertise.
