Discover the GlenAllachie 9 Year Old Douro Valley Wine Cask Finish, a true gem in this Wine Series that combines expertise and innovation. To create this exceptional expression, this spirit underwent expert maturation in American oak ex-bourbon barrels before an additional journey of over two years in wine barriques, meticulously selected by Master Distiller Billy Walker. This process imparts a unique twist to the GlenAllachie spirit, elevating its complexity and character.
Situated in the heart of Portugal, the Douro Valley stands as one of the world's oldest protected wine regions, dating back to its establishment in 1756. Holding the country's highest wine classification as a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC), this historic region is renowned for producing robust and characterful red wines. The carefully chosen barriques from the Douro Valley infuse this Speyside malt with a richness of both colour and flavour, offering decadent layers of dried stone fruits and delicate hints of warming spice.
The nose welcomes waves of plum jam, clementines, and dried red berries. Subtle notes of heather honey and vanilla spice add depth and complexity to the aroma.
As you take a sip, the palate bursts with dried apricots, intertwining with the luscious sweetness of heather honey and crystallised fruits. The tasting journey continues with hints of ripe black fruits, complemented by the indulgent notes of butterscotch and a touch of cinnamon spice.
