The GlenAllachie Distillery, has today announced the launch
of its latest batch of 21 Year Old cask strength, single malt Scotch whisky.
The GlenAllachie 21 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 3 (51.5%
ABV) has been produced by marrying together whisky that has been matured in
three vintage Pedro Ximénez Sherry puncheons.

Each cask was selected and blended by Master Distiller Billy Walker, from the distillery’s inventory of over 50,000 casks held on-site. The Spanish Sherry casks have imparted bold and complex flavour attributes, joining the distinctive heather honey character of The GlenAllachie’s house style.
The GlenAllachie 21 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 3, is said
to deliver notes of black grapes, raisins, dark chocolate orange, coffee,
stewed fruits and treacle syrup on the nose. Followed by notes of heather
honey, cocoa dusted truffles, sultanas, espresso coffee, mixed currants, brandy
butter and gingersnaps on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Billy Walker, said: “Whisky is a
waiting game, and after years of careful planning, I never tire of the
anticipation; it’s pure excitement. Each and every cask at the distillery is
regularly monitored to ensure we bottle the very best whisky available for each
expression. This is what led me to pick these three richly seasoned Sherry
puncheons to create this new batch of our 21-year-old. The outcome is a
multifaceted drinking experience that exudes sheer elegance. A whisky that I
will sip and savour at the end of this milestone year.”
Limited to 2,400 bottles, The GlenAllachie 21 Year Old Cask Strength
Batch 3, will be available later this month from specialist retailers, for a
RRP of £275.00.
