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.

A peated blended malt aged for at least 10 years created by Master Distiller Billy Walker. Billy has sourced the finest vintage Speyside and Islay Single Malts, then blended with aged Glenallachie, in pursuit of the perfect balance between peat and rich, fruity character. The spirit was then laid to rest in premium Spanish Sherry casks, Wine Barriques and virgin oak casks. As time passes the flavours marry and extract additional characteristics from the wood. Batch #2 of the 10 Years Old is bottled at a natural cask strength of 55.8% ABV, with no colour added and non chill filtered for maximum flavour.

Nose: waves of grilled honeycomb, ginger and vanilla, with cinnamon, campfire smoke and treacle.

Palate: bursting with dark chocolate, burnt orange peel and honeycomb, followed by smoked spiced, butterscotch and roasted coffee beans, with notes of ginger on the finish
