The
GlenAllachie unveils its oldest release
to date, The GlenAllachie 35 Year Old.
 The GlenAllachie distillery has unveiled
its oldest single malt to date, The
GlenAllachie 35 Year Old.
Drawing on decades of expertise,
GlenAllachie's veteran whisky maker
Billy Walker personally selected six casks
from the summer of 1989 for this
milestone release.
The whisky, aged in a combination of
three Pedro Ximénez casks, one Oloroso
cask, and two virgin oak casks, is
presented in a luxurious oak box. The
result is said to be a rich and complex
spirit, described as offering "a
luscious symphony of rich mocha, ripe
pineapple, sweet spices, and treacle
tart."
The UK-made presentation box is adorned
with hand-carved details, lined with
moleskin-coloured fabric, and includes a
solid brass ‘angle’, a plaque
celebrating the cask selection, and a
removable oak plinth for displaying the
decanter.
Accompanying the whisky is a booklet
featuring Walker’s handwritten notes on
the cask selection and the story behind
this bottling, with a cover made from
FSC-certified paper derived from spent
malt.
The elegant, wide-shouldered decanter,
designed to echo the classic
GlenAllachie bottle, features gold-inked
details printed directly onto the glass.
The premium wooden stopper, with gold
foiling and the brand’s tagline ‘whisky
in good hands’ encircling it, completes
the presentation.
Bottled at what should be a flavoursome
48% ABV, naturally coloured and
non-chill filtered, the GlenAllachie 35
Year Old is designed to let the spirit
within shine on its own.
GlenAllachie's veteran whisky
maker/owner
Billy Walker commented: "The 35 year old
is a testament to The GlenAllachie’s
dedication, patience and relentless
pursuit of perfection. Unifying the six
spectacular casks has created the
perfect equilibrium between the sweet
influence of Pedro Ximénez, the nutty
contribution of Oloroso, and the
spiciness of the virgin oak. The
amalgamation entails a truly spectacular
single malt with opulent notes of spiced
caramel, rich espresso, tropical fruits
and dark chocolate truffles. If you’re
lucky enough to get your hands on a
bottle, it’s a whisky to be treasured."
The GlenAllachie 35 Year Old has a RRP
of £1,479 and will be available from specialist online whisky
shops such as
