Glenallachie 9 Year Amontillado Sherry Cask Finish 48%

Glenallachie 9 Year Amontillado Sherry Cask Finish 48%

Glenallachie 9 Year Amontillado Sherry Cask Finish is another whiskey from The Wood Collection that continues to impress with its unique flavor profile and depth. This whiskey is a tribute to the classic Amontillado Sherry, undergoing an additional maturation period without a 'flor' layer. This stage of oxidative ripening develops a richer color and more robust character.

Scent: Soft fruits from the orchard, cinnamon and heather honey, with caramel, hazelnuts and dark tobacco.
Taste: Gingerbread, maraschino cherries and dried apricots, followed by poached pears, blood orange, mixed nuts and cinnamon.

Glenallachie's Master Distiller and Blender, Billy Walker, has carefully selected hogsheads that have previously contained this well-aged style of Sherry, resulting in a single malt bursting with dark cherries, roasted hazelnuts and caramel sauce.

Bottled at a strength of 48% ABV. The whiskeys in The Wood Collection are all naturally colored and non-chill filtered, preserving their authentic flavor and character.

About the Distillery:

1967 GlenAllachie Distillery was the fourth distillery designed by William-Delme Evans and built by Mackinlay McPherson (distilling arm of Scotch and Newcastle). It was designed to be almost full gravity fed to run on reduced energy.

In February 1968, the distillery began its first production run with the capacity to produce almost three million liters of alcohol. Production began with two stills and grew to four after just six months.

Campbell Distillers (later part of Pernod Ricard) acquired GlenAllachie Distillery in 1989 and production resumed on 24 April. This was the start of 29 years of uninterrupted production. The distillery was branded as the home of Clan Campbell Whisky.

In 2017, Billy Walker, Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson joined forces to acquire GlenAllachie Distillery. And they formed The GlenAllachie Distillers Company Limited, bringing with them over 100 years of industry knowledge and expertise.
