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.

This accomplished single malt is truly the apex of luxury. Master Distiller Billy Walker thoughtfully finessed every drop of vintage auburn liquid in superior Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks, expertly sourced from Spain. Matured in four first-class Sherry puncheons and hogsheads, you can anticipate intricate layers of forest fruits, rich espresso, sweet spice and dark chocolate truffles.

Nose: Ripe dark cherries and brandied honeycomb, with notes of spiced orange, thick treacle and blackberry tart.

Palate: Dark chocolate, dried red berries and maraschino cherries, followed by heather honey and crystalised ginger, with plum brandy and mocha on the finish.
