The GlenAllachie Distillery, has today announced the launch
of the second instalment of its oldest core range expression.
The GlenAllachie 30 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 2 (50.8%
ABV) is a single malt Scotch whisky, which has been produced using a
combination of six 1990 and 1991 vintage Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry
hogsheads and puncheons, along with two 1990 American virgin oak barrels, which
were toasted and charred to a medium level.

This second release in the annual series from the Speyside based distillery, was produced using casks selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker, who this year is celebrating his 50th Anniversary in the Scotch whisky industry.
The GlenAllachie 30 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 2, is said
to deliver notes of heather honey, sultanas, mocha, cinnamon, coconut shavings
and dried fruits on the nose. Followed by notes of dark chocolate, figs, orange
zest, treacle, raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg of the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Billy Walker, said: “When we first unveiled our
30-year-old Cask Strength annual release last year, we were completely
overwhelmed and humbled by the immensely positive response from whisky fans
around the world. This fuelled me with great enthusiasm to get underway with the
next batch, endeavouring to raise the bar even higher with this instalment. We’re
delighted to present the second batch of our eldest core release, delivering a
bold and complex organoleptic profile truly representative of our house style
and where we are taking The GlenAllachie Distillery.”
Limited to 2,000 bottles, The GlenAllachie 30 Year Old Cask
Strength Batch 2, will be available later this month from specialist retailers,
for a RRP of £600.00.
