Glenallachie 18 Year Old Bottled 2023

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46%

The 2023 edition of Glenallachie's superb 18-year-old annual release follows a similar blueprint to last year's version, with the maestro Billy Walker selecting from the best of the distillery's Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, balanced by a small proportion of virgin oak.

As ever, Glenallachie 18-year-old has been bottled at 46% without chill filtration or added colouring and is a rich and complex after-dinner whisky with sweet (natural) caramel, classic dried fruit and chocolatey flavours, nutty hints and a spicy finish. Unfortunately there won't be enough stock of this for everyone who wants one, so grab it while you can.
