Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 57.2%
The eighth edition of Glenallachie's 10-year-old Cask Strength, one of the surest bets on Speyside - you'll remember that Batch 4 of this delicious dram scooped the gong for World's Best Single Malt Whisky at the 2021 World Whisky Awards.
For Glenallachie 10-year-old Cask Strength Batch 8, the maestro Billy Walker has married a batch of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry casks, tempered with small quantities of virgin oak and Rioja red wine casks, with the assemblage being bottled without colouring or chill filtration at its natural strength of 57.2% (equivalent to the old 100-proof, coincidentally enough).

I have only recently started drinking whisky, which is late in the day for someone who is over 50 and this is only my second new whisky so I don't have a lot of experience. However, the other brand I had was the Cutty Sark prohibition which I thought was great. But this Glenallachie was just gorgeous. It was smooth and the smoky after taste was subtle but clear. This is my definite go to bottle for special occasions. Love love love it!!!!

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
