The GlenAllachie Distillery launches its oldest offering

Hot on the heels of winning the World’s Best Single Malt award (World Whiskies Awards, 2021), The GlenAllachie Distillery has launched its oldest and most prestigious core offering yet- The GlenAllachie 30-year-old Cask Strength Batch 1 single malt Scotch whisky.

A brand-new addition to the GlenAllachie’s multi award-winning flagship range - Batch 1 of The GlenAllachie 30-year-old- is the first in a series of annual small-batch releases at this age, with only 2,000 bottles available worldwide.

This first installment is a marriage of vintage whiskies from nine casks handpicked by acclaimed Master Distiller, Billy Walker, from stocks spanning more than 50,000 casks maturing across 16 on-site warehouses at GlenAllachie.

To create this unique whisky, which is bottled at cask strength of 48.9 percent ABV, is non chill filtered and of natural colour, Walker personally selected a combination of 1989 and 1990 vintages matured in former Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso hogsheads and puncheons, along with a small quantity of Chinquapin Virgin Oak casks.

The result of Walker’s superlative blending and wood management expertise is an exceptional whisky that delivers bold sherry-matured sophistication; notes of indulgent mocha, ripe figs and dark chocolate, coupled with classic GlenAllachie honeyed charm.

The GlenAllachie 30-year-old Cask Strength Batch 1 is available from specialist retailers globally, with UK RRSP of £475 for each bottle.
