The full story & FAQBackground · serving notes · questions
The GlenAllachie
The GlenAllachie distillery was established in 1967 near Aberlour. In 2017 master distiller Billy Walker, with partners Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson, acquired it and made it independent, and the first range of GlenAllachie single malts followed in 2018.
The three whiskies
All three spend their first years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, then about 18 months in virgin oak. The 7 Year Old uses Hungarian sessile oak (Quercus petraea) from the Zemplén forest; the 8 Year Old uses Scottish sessile oak from the Atlantic coast, air-dried for 36 months; and the 10 Year Old uses Spanish oak (Quercus robur) hogsheads from the Cantabrian mountains. The casks were toasted and charred before filling, and each whisky is bottled at 48% ABV, non-chill filtered and with natural colour.
How to enjoy them
Pour all three side by side in the same type of glass, neat, and taste from youngest to oldest. Then add a drop of water to each to compare how the oak character changes.
