GlenAllachie 9YR Cuvee Wine Cask Whisky 700ml ABV: 48%
GlenAllachie Cuvée Cask Finish
Multi-Wine Cask Finish | 48% ABV | Natural Colour & Non-Chill Filtered
An elegant symphony of cask influence, the GlenAllachie Cuvée Cask Finish is a masterful creation from renowned Master Distiller Billy Walker, showcasing his visionary approach to cask selection and blending.
After initial aging in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky underwent secondary maturation in a unique combination of four hand-selected wine barriques sourced from prestigious European producers:
-
Languedoc (France): Adds refined stone fruit elegance
-
Recioto della Valpolicella (Italy): Brings gentle spice and rich texture
-
Two Premier Cru Classé Châteaux (Bordeaux): Impart opulent sweetness and layered complexity
Each cask was closely monitored before being harmoniously blended into a bold, balanced, and truly distinctive single malt.
Tasting Notes:
-
Colour: Golden bronze
-
Nose: Orange blossom, maraschino cherry, espresso, and honeysuckle, with undertones of candied stone fruits, hazelnuts, lavender, and cinnamon
-
Palate: Deep layers of dark chocolate, red currants, and burnt coffee, evolving into crystallised almonds, blackberries, and orange zest, finishing with ginger and liquorice spice
A true masterclass in cask finishing, this limited release is a must-try for those seeking depth, originality, and the artistry of one of Speyside’s most exciting distilleries.
