Fill up your tasting glass and take your experience to the next level!
The GlenAllachie Chinquapin Virgin Oak is a silky 10-year-old Scotch single malt whisky from the Speyside region. It matured in ex-bourbon American Chinquapin oak casks. It was finished for 18 months in specially selected French virgin oak casks.
This exceptional malt gained its complex and spicy flavor from casks made of Chinquapin oak (Quercus Muehlenbergii), which comes from the Northern Ozark region in Missouri. Chinquapin is a subspecies of Quercus Alba and imparts spicy flavors and aromas. They are air-dried for nearly four years.
The entire production and aging process was overseen by the legendary Billy Walker. This is a limited edition from the second batch, meaning that only a limited number of bottles were produced. No added colors and no chill filtration. The whisky comes in a very nice gift packaging.
