A Unique Addition to the Wine Cask Series
Introducing the GlenAllachie 12 Year Old Sauternes Cask Finish, a distinguished single malt from Speyside's GlenAllachie Distillery. Released as part of the aptly-named Wine Cask Series, this expression is a testament to the artistry of cask finishing and the exceptional quality of GlenAllachie's single malts.
The Sauternes Influence
This 12-year-old single malt has undergone a finishing period in casks that previously held Sauternes wine from France. Known for its richly sweet flavour profile, Sauternes wine imparts delightful layers of sweetness and complexity to the whisky, creating a harmonious balance with GlenAllachie's robust malt character.
Flavour Profile
The marriage of GlenAllachie's top-quality single malt with the sweet nuances of Sauternes wine results in a captivating flavour profile. Expect notes of honey, apricots, and toasted almonds, complemented by hints of vanilla and a subtle spice. This combination ensures a decadent and satisfying tasting experience.
