About GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 1 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glenallachie is situated in Banffshire, at the foot of Ben Rinnes, neighboring several other distilleries. Founded in 1967 by Mackinlay McPherson Ltd Glenallachie is one of the youngest distilleries in Scotland. In 1989 Campbell Distillers acquired The GlenAllachie Distillery, starting production run that lasted for nearly 30 years.
In 2017 Billy Walker, Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson came together to acquire the GlenAllachie facility reincarnating the distillery as The GlenAllachie Distillers Company Limited. The highly anticipated core range of the GlenAllachie distillery from Speyside was finally launched in July 2018.
The water for the distillery comes from the dam heads over 2 miles from the distillery. Henshead and Blackstank flow into Beachshach Burn, which supplies the water directly to the distillery, and sits on the North East of BenRinnes. The distillery was designed to be gravity fed, created with horizontal condensers that maintain a consistent temperature, or increase/decrease to alter the character of the spirit.
Using a vast amount of aged stock that was obtained along with the distillery, dating back as far as the 1970’s GlenAllachie Master Distiller Billy Walker has masterfully created a signature single malt. After sampling this vast range of casks, Billy was keen to showcase GlenAllachie bottled at natural strength. This GlenAllachie 10-year-old Cask Strength Batch 1 is a limited edition drawn from a variety of casks, including first-fill bourbon, virgin oak, Oloroso sherry, and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This incredible Speyside has numerous accolades including a Gold Medal at the 2019 World Whiskies Awards, San Francisco World Spirits Competiton and International Spirits Challenge.

About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
