The GlenAllachie 14-year-old Oloroso Wood Finish for the UK

Glenallachie, The multi-award-winning Speyside distillery, has revealed a limited-edition whisky created exclusively for the UK market. The GlenAllachie 14-year-old Oloroso Wood Finish joins the innovative Wood Finish series.

Presented at natural cask strength of 55.4 percent, the 14-year-old single malt is a small-batch release, initially matured in first and second fill American oak barrels, before being re-racked for over two years aging in Oloroso puncheons; personally sourced by whisky industry stalwart Billy Walker.

Walker has earned widespread acclaim for his superlative wood management and blending expertise. After almost half a century in the whisky industry, Walker was inducted into Whisky Magazine’s Hall of Fame earlier this year for his exceptional and lasting contribution to the world of whisky.

After closely monitoring the maturing spirit within the Oloroso-seasoned Spanish oak casks, Walker determined when the perfect balance between distillery and wood character was achieved. The whisky was then bottled without added colouring or chill filtration.

The result is an exceptional single malt that delivers rich sherry-matured indulgence; notes of sticky raisins, gooey dark chocolate pudding, zesty orange and fresh espresso, all coupled with classic GlenAllachie honeyed charm.

The GlenAllachie 14-year-old Oloroso Wood Finish is available now exclusively from the UK's specialist retailers, with an RRSP of £89.99.
