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.

After taking ownership of GlenAllachie Distillery, Master Distiller Billy Walker embarked on an in-depth cask evaluation programme across the 50,000 casks on-site. The results of his expert endeavours can be seen in the multi-award winning core range and single cask releases, where Billy has had the opportunity to showcase exceptional casks and highlight Glenallachie's approach to wood management.
