Glenallachie 30 Year Old Batch 3 70cl

Glenallachie 30 Year Old Batch 3 70cl

The next instalment in GlenAllachie's highly-anticipated annual release has arrived: The GlenAllachie 30-year-old Batch 3. To craft this elegant expression, esteemed Master Blender Billy Walker carefully selected eight casks from the finest vintage stock that had been slumbering in the on-site warehouses for over three decades. A true celebration of GlenAllachie's bold and complex house style, this latest batch showcases the merits of patience and perseverance, coupled with Billy Walker's half-century of instinct and knowledge gathered throughout his famed career.

Dating back to the early ’90s, the whisky within each cask boasted full-bodied, smooth character which was further elevated when unified. With heavily Sherried influence, several Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso hogsheads were expertly married with premium American virgin oak casks to create this exquisite limited release. Exuding classic GlenAllachie honeyed charm, expect a refined palate to match this malt’s enticing mahogany hue. Abundant with flavours of stewed plums, warming cinnamon and smooth caramel, this indulgent, cask strength delight is just as exceptional as you would expect.

From the outset of working with the GlenAllachie spirit, Master Blender Billy Walker continually expressed his desire to use our vintage stocks to craft a truly outstanding thirty year old. With this objective in mind, he has meticulously supervised the development of the slumbering whisky within each earmarked cask until optimal interaction between distillery and wood was achieved.

Bottled at cask strength of 48.9%, non-chill filtered and at natural colour, this small batch release truly showcases GlenAllachie in its purest form, the perfect unison of cask and distillery character.

A combination of eight hand-selected PX, Oloroso and virgin oak casks, Batch 3 is limited to just 2,400 bottles worldwide.
