Product Description

This acclaimed Speyside single malt is a drinks cabinet staple that showcases our independent approach. Our flagship bottling is founded on our core philosophy: exceptional wood is key to creating superlative whisky. With satisfyingly complex yet perfectly balanced flavours of sweet spice, dark roasted coffee, stewed apples and cocoa powder, it's a full-bodied whisky that can be enjoyed your way. We proudly present The GlenAllachie 12-year-old with integrity; at a high strength of 46% ABV, without added colouring or chill filtration, allowing the quality to speak for itself. Nose: Hints of dark chocolate, treacle and heather honey, with cinnamon, espresso and sticky raisins in the background. Taste: Marzipan and orchard fruit tones, followed by warming mocha, butterscotch and grated nutmeg. Being independent offers us the freedom to prioritize what matters most: quality. The result of seamlessly coordinated collaboration is a range of carefully crafted and cask-perfected whiskies, each personally approved by Billy Walker. With a quietly confident team of passionate whisky enthusiasts behind The GlenAllachie, we have our whisky in good hands. At The GlenAllachie, each decision in creating our award-winning Speyside single malt merges logic with instinct. In the experienced hands of legendary whisky maker Billy Walker, a culture of precision, patience and perseverance has been instilled in his small yet accomplished team of whisky experts.

Berries, poached pear and spicy, honey-smoked ham on the fruity nose. Delicate Asian spices with soft baked peaches, apples and hints of tropical and lime. Richly textured with a warming, spicy finish.

Oily on the nose, with ripe banana and a hint of oak. Quite full-bodied and slick on the palate, with vanilla, honey, and almonds. Milk chocolate and lime in the medium-length finish.
Falstaff · August 2019
The base note in the fragrance contains toffee, dark fruit and some pipe tobacco. The slightly yeasty notes add a certain fruitiness. A clear caramel note on the palate with a strong mouthfeel.

A nose of rich sultanas, flapjacks, and milk chocolate, alongside acetone notes. … The finish is medium-long, oily, and slightly warm, making for a very enjoyable dram.
Here we have a beautifully aromatic nose, full of hard candies, lemon drops, walnut and stone fruit. The palate becomes quite buttery, with bees wax and honey, vanilla and dried figs making it a little more fruity.
