The GlenAllachie Hungarian Oak Finish 7 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is from the Virgin Oak Series 3. The whisky was first matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks. It was then matured in specially selected virgin oak casks for approximately 18 months.
Master Distiller Billy Walker was once again looking for something innovative to make whisky. His search took him to northeast Hungary, where low temperatures, volcanic soil and high altitude create slow-growing oak trees with a dense grain structure. These oaks were selected for the aforementioned whisky maturation. The casks were first toasted and charred to a medium level. After maturation, the whisky is bottled at 48 % alcohol. No added colouring or chill filtering.
This is one of the first single malt whiskies in the world to be finished in Hungarian virgin oak. You can expect an aromatic, well-balanced and unique taste. All factors combine to create a very unique texture, depth and variety in the whisky.
The GlenAllachie Spanish Oak Finish 10 Year Old Single Malt whisky is from the Virgin Oak Series 3. The whisky gets its unique spicy flavour from maturation in virgin Spanish oak casks. The wood comes from the regions of Galicia and Asturias, specifically the forests of the Cantabrian Mountains. The area has a very cool and humid climate.
The oak wood has been air-dried for approximately 18 months. It was then toasted and charred to a medium level, which opened up the oak and allowed the whisky's cask character to shine through. Secondary maturation in virgin Spanish casks deepened the whisky's beautiful mahogany hue.
After maturation, the whisky is bottled at 48% alcohol. No added colouring or chill filtering. The bottle comes in a gift box.
The GlenAllachie Scottish Oak Finish 8 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is from the Virgin Oak Series 3. The whisky was first matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks. It was then matured in selected virgin Scottish oak casks for a period of 18 months.
The use of Scotch oak in the maturation of Scotch whisky is unusual as it is not common and is more difficult to process.
After maturation, the whisky is bottled at 48 % alcohol. No added colouring or chill filtering. The bottle comes in a gift box.
