From the Gaelic, Gleann Aileachaidh, meaning Valley of the Rocks, this independent, Scottish owned and managed whisky company focuses on the important things: making great whisky and enjoying life.

Founded in 1967, GlenAllachie Distillery is nestled in the heart of Speyside, just outside the charming town of Aberlour and at the foot of Ben Rinnes. Surrounded by heather-strewn hills and ancient granite rock, GlenAllachie draws its water from the nearby Springs of Ballantynes, renowned for their purity and softness: an essential ingredient in crafting its rich, fruit-forward style of single malt whisky.

Once a quiet contributor to blends, GlenAllachie has flourished under new ownership, embracing bold cask maturation and small batch releases, earning itself a place amongst Speyside legends.

Sinteis’ (pronounced sin-teesh) meaning ‘synthesis’ in Scottish Gaelic, embodies Glenallachie's cask creativity as they merge two bold yet complementary wood types to concoct unparalleled expressions.

Merging single malt matured in Oloroso Sherry casks with spirit from French virgin oak barrels has resulted in a harmonious fusion of dark chocolate and roasted coffee entwined with nutmeg and gentle oak warmth.

French virgin oak: The French virgin oak casks are crafted from Limousin oak sourced from the forests of central France, prized for their wide grain structure, which encourages greater interaction between spirit and wood. Air-dried for 15 months before hosting The GlenAllachie spirit, the oak imparts notes of honey and orange peel with gentle spice and subtle earthy undertones.

Oloroso sherry: Subjected to extensive ageing without a ‘flor’ yeast layer, Oloroso, which roughly translates to ‘fragrant’, is the darkest dry Sherry style renowned for its pronounced nutty, dried fruit qualities.

Nose: Orange zest, nutmeg and dried orchard fruits, with honeycomb, maraschino cherries, mocha and crystalised brown sugar.

Taste: Heather honey, spiced orange and baked apple, followed by winter truffle, muscovado sugar and cinnamon, with hazelnuts and mocha on the finish.
