The GlenAllachie has launches the second instalment of its oldest and most prestigious core offering: The GlenAllachie 30-year-old Cask Strength Batch 2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
This second batch is limited to just 2,000 bottles globally, each packaged in a black rigid box with gold foil detailing and has a UK RRSP of £600, available from global specialist retailers.
The annual batch release begun last year, with 2,000 bottles made available at £475 RRSP, which were met with great demand.
Billy Walker, celebrating his 50th anniversary in the industry this year, said the following on the release: “When we first unveiled our 30-year-old Cask Strength annual release last year, we were completely overwhelmed and humbled by the immensely positive response from whisky fans around the world. This fuelled me with great enthusiasm to get underway with the next batch, endeavouring to raise the bar even higher with this instalment. We’re delighted to present the second batch of our eldest core release, delivering a bold and complex organoleptic profile truly representative of our house style and where we are taking The GlenAllachie Distillery.”
To create this whisky, 1990 and 1991 vintages matured in six former Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry hogsheads and puncheons were selected by Walker, along with two 1990 American virgin oak barrels which were toasted and charred to a medium level.
The producer has described some of the flavour as revealing layers of Seville orange, coffee beans, desiccated coconut and Medjool dates. The single malt is non chill filtered, without added colour and comes in with a cask strength of 50.8% ABV.
