Since single casks were launched in 2025, demand has been high for all bottlings that have now sold out worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis distillery exclusive was distilled on 7th June 2018 and bottled in May 2026 and released for sale in July 2026. \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\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e59.4% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meikle Toir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54324503314770,"sku":"MEIK7SC7033","price":115.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/MeikleToir7YearOld2018SinglePeatedRumBarrel_7033DistilleryExclusiveSpeysideSingleMaltScotchWhisky_2026_70cl.jpg?v=1787182773","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/meikle-toir-7-year-old-2018-single-peated-rum-barrel-7033-distillery-exclusive-speyside-single-malt-scotch-whisky-2026-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
