In 2009, a selection of acknowledged experts, including a group of distillery managers, got together at Blair Athol Distillery to choose a single cask from a selection of distilleries, as part of an original distillers first single cask collection.

The Glen Spey 1996 was matured in a New American Oak cask number 240; filled on18/01/1996 and bottled on 02/03/2009. One of 276 bottles.

The sixth batch of GlenAllachie cask strength 10-year-old single malt has arrived! This expression was matured in Oloroso sherry and Pedro Ximenez puncheons, as well as a few virgin oak and Rioja casks, before being married together to create this sweet single malt. The expression was bottled at 57.8% abv and it is free from artificial colouring and chill filtration.

The nose is full of walnut, dark chocolate, juicy cherry, and dried orange peel. The palate brings flavours of honey, liquorice, sugared almonds, and cinnamon before leading into a long finish with lingering hints of citrus.

A limited edition GlenAllachie released to celebrate the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Matured for 13 years and released in 2020, this edition is the third release by master distiller Billy Walker from GlenAllachie for the festival.

Only one of 332 bottles this release is normally only sold in the distillery, but available due to the temporary closure of the site.

Distilled in July 2008 and matured in a single Pedro Ximenez puncheon for more than a decade, this limited edition expression from The GlenAllachie is the product of one single cask, exclusively selected for The Whisky Shop and our customers. Bottled in February 2020 at a strength of 51.8% abv, free from chill filtration and artificial colouring, just 773 bottles have been produced.

This Speyside single cask has delicate notes of fruit cake, dark chocolate, apricots and figs combining brilliantly – a sherry bomb.

Christmas has come early for GlenAllachie! The first batch of the GlenAllachie 21 Year Old Cask Strength single malt features five Pedro Ximénez puncheons and hogsheads from 1997 and 1998 which have been hand-picked and married together by Master Distiller/Blender of the Year, Billy Walker (Icons of Whisky Awards, 2020). 

Specially selected from The GlenAllachie’s enviable stock of over 50,000 casks, the PX puncheons and hogsheads impart rich, sherried tones upon the distinctive butterscotch and chocolate flavours of the distillery’s archetypal spirit.

The resulting first batch has been bottled at 51.4% abv and is free from chill-filtration for maximum flavour. The intense mahogany colour of the whisky is drawn from its contact with the PX casks, with no artificial colouring added. A highly limited release, just 1,600 bottles have been released worldwide. 

Dark chocolate, honey, mocha and orange zest notes fill the nose, alongside grapefruit and cinnamon. The palate has a gorgeous and rich mix of fruit cake, caramel and treacle, fused with stewed plums, more chocolate and orange peel. Wintery spices, namely cinnamon and ginger, linger in the aftertaste.

The nose has cinnamon and nutmeg atop layers of honey, treacle and orange peel. the palate brings intense notes of stewed spices, butterscotch, treacle and orange zest, before hints of clove and rye spice in the lingering finish.
