GlenAllachie 15 Year Old Scottish Virgin Oak Batch 2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

From Batch 2 of the GlenAllachie Virgin Oak Series, this 15 year old whisky underwent additional maturation in casks made of Scottish Sessile Oak (Quercus Petrae), sourced from the Atlantic coast. Scottish oak is incredibly challenging to work with at all stages of production; growing, milling and coopering. Its rarity, costliness and tendency to knot mean it is scarcely used for whisky maturation.

Before being filled, the wood was air dried for 36 months, then toasted and charred to a medium level. Using just a handful of casks, the resulting spirit delivers a truly exceptional drinking experience, oozing with vanilla and butterscotch, perfectly balanced with rich notes of cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Natural colour and non-chill filtered
