Description
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 57.8%
A bottle of Glenallachie 10-year-old Cask Strength Speyside single malt whisky. This is from Batch 6 of Glenallachie 10-year-old Cask Strength, which was bottled in 2021.
Despite the success of Glenallachie 10-year-old Cask Strength Batch 3, which picked up Best Speyside Single Malt at the World Whisky Awards 2020, no-one could have foreseen that Batch 4 would go even further, being crowned World’s Best Single Malt at the World Whisky Awards 2021.
Batch 5 of this tremendous whisky lasted nanoseconds when it was launched a few months ago and the hype is real for Batch 6, which has been bottled at the slightly higher strength of 57.8%.
As before, this 10-year-old Glenallachie Cask Strength is composed predominantly of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez sherry puncheons, with a smattering of virgin oak and Rioja casks adding an extra layer of sweet, spicy fruitiness for good measure.
