GlenAllachie
launch the fifth batch of their highly
rated 10 Year Old Cask Strength
expression.
 GlenAllachie
has just announced the launch of the
next instalment of their highly rated 10 Year Old
Cask Strength batch release single malt
whisky, the new GlenAllachie 10 Year Old
Cask Strength Batch 5.
The release follows the success of
previous batches, most recently Batch 4 which just last week
was awarded one of the most competitive
and prestigious accolades: World’s Best
Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards
2021.
The World Whiskies Awards which is held
by the Whisky Magazine recognise the
very best whiskies from across the
globe. An international judging panel
carry out blind tastings to award the
best whiskies within each category. Once
these winners are determined for each
region, they go head-to-head in the
‘World’s Best’ final judging. The
GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Batch 4
outperformed all of the competition to
be named the World’s Best Single Malt in
March 2021, just as the next instalment
is launched.
The latest instalment in the batch
release series, the GlenAllachie 10 Year
Old Cask Strength Batch 5, is a
limited release of 4,500 cases
worldwide, a combination of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry puncheons,
Rioja barriques, and a small quantity of
Virgin Oak casks expertly selected and
blended by industry veteran and Master
Distiller/Blender of the Year (World
Whiskies Awards, 2020), Billy Walker.
Batch 5 is presented at natural strength of 55.9%
ABV, without added colour or chill
filtration, described by GlenAllachie as
a punchy spirit which promises
waves of warming mocha, tangy orange
zest, and winter spices, all alongside
archetypal GlenAllachie sweet honey
notes.
Commenting on the latest decade-old
release, Walker revealed:
"It has been a true joy of mine to
concoct every new batch of our
10-year-old, bottling each at cask
strength to let the natural character
and charm of the spirit reign supreme.
"Previous batches of our 10 year old
have set a high bar to meet,
particularly the fourth batch which I am
thrilled has been awarded World’s Best
Single Malt – a long-held ambition of
mine – but we’re excited to share this
latest batch which delivers a moreish
combination of freshly baked almond
croissants, dark chocolate, and spicy
cinnamon… a real treat!"
With the first batch revealed in
November 2020, The GlenAllachie
21 Year Old Cask Strength had been the
latest addition to the core range, with
hotly anticipated annual batch releases
in the pipeline.
The GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 5 will
soon be available from specialist online whisky
retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange and
Master of Malt
