Glenallachie was another of those distilleries born out of the boom of the late sixties, designed to keep the blends afloat in the coming decades where sales were forecast to soar. Sadly, as we are all too aware, things didn't quite work out that way. However, Glenallachie survived and in recent years has garnered a fantastic reputation as a single malt under the stewardship of Billy Walker, who boughtt he distillery in 2017.
