The eighth batch from the award-winning Speyside distillery. These releases have been firm favourites in the whisky scene, most notably the fourth installment which was awarded World?s Best Single Malt (World Whiskies Awards, 2021). Similar to previous batches, Glenallachie Cask Strength Batch 8 was aged in a combination of Pedro Xim?nez and Oloroso sherry puncheons, Rioja barriques and virgin oak casks. Each cask was personally selected and blended by Master Distiller Billy Walker.
Waves of heather honey, dried fruit, cinnamon and nutmeg on the nose, followed by orange peel, mocha and treacle.
Lashings of dark chocolate, figs and heather honey follow through onto the palate, with raisins, cinnamon, plums and hints of orange zest.
