Guided by revered Master Distiller, Billy Walker, our team is on a ‘Meikle Tòir’ (meaning ‘big pursuit’). The goal: To carefully craft and cask-perfect a peerless peated single malt at our Speyside home, The GlenAllachie Distillery.
Being independent allows for complete freedom to make decisions for all the right reasons, and to firmly place the focus on quality over quantity. In 2018, we began producing peated spirit – a much rarer style for the Speyside region – for several weeks each year. We only produce around 100,000 litres of new-make annually to create our premium small-batch releases.
Coming in at 35 PPM, the whisky has a sweeter style of smoke character owing to the mainland peat from St. Fergus used to kiln the barley. After a lengthy 160-hour fermentation, the whisky has a complex character which stands up well to ageing in virgin oak casks from the Northern Ozarks, Missouri giving this single malt a smoked spiciness.
Nose: Smoldering oak embers, burnt liquorice and honey, with ginger, butterscotch and orange peel.
Palate: Cocoa, crème brûlée and toasted almonds, with cinnamon, aniseed and campfire smoke.
