Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 57.1%
A very special Glenallachie 16-year-old, this is the first release in 2022's Billy Walker 50th Anniversary trilogy, celebrating the Glenallachie head honcho's half-century in the whisky business. This will be one of 2022's most sought-after drams.
The Glenallachie Billy Walker 50th Anniversary Trilogy will feature three different whiskies each representing one of Mr Walker's career specialisms: Sherry maturation, cask management and distillation.
This Glenallachie 16-year-old is the Past Edition, focused on sherry maturation and assembled from 2005 vintage Glenallachie fully matured in nine Spanish sherry casks and bottled without colouring or chill filtration at cask strength of 57.1%, equivalent to 100 proof in the old Imperial measuring system.

An exciting deep rich brown coloured liquid.
A compote of fruit together with dried grapes is lovely on the tongue.
Nicely sweetened syrup is evident too.
Invested in two bottles but will be ordering a third.
Great warming malt enjoyed by two. (One aka Pig)
I know I bought a cask strength whisky but was expecting a nice taste but the strength overpowered the flavor, I found it harsh, but I am not a whiskey conasur. I also bought the secret Orkney signatory cask strength and that was very nice.
