Glenallachie 30 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - Batch 2

The second instalment of this top-tier Glenallachie marries antique whiskies handpicked by Billy Walker from stocks spanning more than 50,000 casks. 1990 and 1991 vintages matured in six former Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry hogsheads and puncheons, along with two 1990 American virgin oak barrels (medium toasted and charred) all made the grade. The result epitomises rich Sherried elegance, with a flavour profile that includes Seville orange, coffee bean, desiccated coconut and Medjool dates. Opulent in every way, it comes bottled at a natural strength of 50.8% ABV and non chill filtered without added colour. Collectable.

Notes from the producers... Colour: Rich Mahogany. Nose: Bursting with heather honey, sultanas and mocha, followed by waves of cinnamon, coconut shavings and dried fruits. Taste: Lashings of dark chocolate, figs and orange zest, with hints of treacle, raisins and cinnamon, with nutmeg on the finish.
