A Scottish Single Malt with Multiple Cask Influences

GlenAllachie, a Speyside Distillery with Renowned Expertise

Founded in 1967 by Mackinlay McPherson Ltd to the designs of architect William Delmé-Evans, GlenAllachie is a Scottish whisky distillery located in Speyside. Acquired in 2017 by Billy Walker, an industry veteran with 53 years of experience and a qualified chemist, this independent distillery has been transformed into a producer of exceptional single malts. GlenAllachie prioritises quality with a 160-hour fermentation, maturation focused on Sherry casks and its distinctive "heather honey" style. The brand has won the title of "World's Best Single Malt" twice at the World Whiskies Awards (2021 and 2025).

This single malt benefits from ageing in a carefully selected range of casks: Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry, Rioja barrels and virgin American oak casks. This exceptional combination of cask types gives this whisky its unique aromatic complexity.
