The GlenAllachie 8 years

The GlenAllachie 8 years Limited Edition

Matured in American Oak Ex-Bourbon barrels (Quercus Alba) & finished in Scottish Virgin Oak casks.

This golden malt attains its indulgently sweet flavours from casks made of Scottish Sessile Oak (Quercus Petraea) sourced from the Atlantic coast.  Before being filled the wood is air dried for 36 months then toasted & charred at medium level.  Due to its rarity, expense & tendency to knot, Scottish Oak is seldomly used for whisky maturation making this unique gem a truly magical experience.

On the nose this malt is bursting with baked oats, butterscotch & toffee.  Also with notes of cinnamon, gingersnaps & heather honey.

The taste is of lashings of heather honey, orchard fruits & lemon zest.  Followed by white chocolate, cinnamon & ginger with toffee & butterscotch on the finish.
