The spirit was bottled under the direction of Billy Walker, showcasing the benefit of long-term maturation in traditional dunnage warehouses where slow oxidation is key. A tapestry of honeyed malt and dried apricots is supported by a rich, waxy texture that has developed through 35 years of interaction with the wood. This bottling represents a significant age statement for the estate, providing a sophisticated look at the 1990 production before the recent modernisation and change in fermentation protocols that have defined the brand’s current era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eNose\u003c\/i\u003e – Mocha, crystalised cinnamon and treacle tart, followed by cocoa, toasted hazelnuts and pineapple, with soft notes of ginger and heather honey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003ePalate\u003c\/i\u003e – Cocoa, baking spices and chocolate-coated raisins, followed by coconut, brandied orchard fruits and sandalwood, with vanilla, dried red fruits and honeycomb. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout GlenAllachie\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough its whisky was predominantly used by past owner Chivas Brothers for blending, under new ownership GlenAllachie is emerging as a single malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightness is a characteristic of most of the 1960s distilleries and Glenallachie has been no exception. A malty undertone adds some textural quality to the palate while delicate fruits rise above. Under the new ownership of the GlenAllachie Distillery Company however fermentation times have been lengethened, lending the spirit a fruitier, and more muscular quality. Peated runs now account for 20% of production, although peated GlenAllachie won't appear on shelves for a number of years yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the results of the US-fuelled 1960s whisky boom, GlenAllachie was built in 1967 by Scottish \u0026amp; Newcastle Breweries’ distilling subsidiary, Mackinlays. It is notable for being one of the distilleries designed by William Delmé-Evans who was also behind Macduff, Tullibardine and Jura.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1985, Mackinlays became part of own-label specialist Invergordon Distillers which flipped Glenallachie to Campbell Distillers\/Pernod Ricard four years later, during most of which it had been mothballed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has only very rarely been seen as a single malt bottling – most notably as part of Chivas Brothers’ Cask Strength series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn July 2017, it was announced that Chivas Brothers had agreed to sell GlenAllachie to The GlenAllachie Distillers Company, operated by former BenRiach MD Billy Walker, ex-Inver House Distillers MD Graham Stevenson and Trisha Savage. A capital ‘A’ was added to the distillery name, in keeping with the changes Walker made to BenRiach and GlenDronach under his stewardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new owners are in the process of relaunching GlenAllachie as a distillery known for its ‘big’, fruity malt whisky. Six single cask bottlings were released in April 2018, with GlenAllachie’s first core range of single malts set for launch in June 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50.2% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GlenAllachie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53074848317778,"sku":"GLENAL35CS1990","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/GlenAllachie35YearOld1990LimitedEditionCaskStrengthSpeysideSingleMaltScotchWhisky_2026_70cl.jpg?v=1775003659","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/glenallachie-35-year-old-1990-limited-edition-cask-strength-speyside-single-malt-scotch-whisky-2026-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
