Single Cask | Virgin Oak Series | Cask Strength | Non-Chill Filtered
This ain’t your average Speysider. GlenAllachie 2010 Chinquapin Oak Finish Single Cask #4952 is a 2010 vintage whisky finished in Chinquapin virgin oak, an American oak species (Quercus muehlenbergii, if you’re feeling nerdy) known for its punchy, spicy influence—and this cask delivers in spades.
Hand-selected by Billy Walker and bottled at natural cask strength, this dram is all about intensity, structure, and rich oak-driven complexity. From vanilla-laced fruit to toasty spice and buttery oak, this is GlenAllachie showing off its experimental side—and sticking the landing.

Chinquapin Oak isn’t something you see every day—and GlenAllachie makes it sing. This isn’t just a whisky, it’s a conversation piece. From its distinctive wood character to its full-strength bottling, it’s the kind of dram that rewards slow sipping, geeky analysis, and quiet appreciation.
If you like your whisky bold, spicy, and oak-driven (without losing that juicy Speyside core), this is a bottle you’ll remember.
Nose: Layers of cinnamon-dusted apple pie, toasted oak, and sweet vanilla fudge. A touch of clove and ginger spice lingers behind soft orchard fruit.
Palate: Big, bold, and mouth-coating. Expect notes of caramelised banana, nutmeg, and charred oak, with that unmistakable Chinquapin spice kicking in midway. Hints of roasted nuts, orange peel, and dark honey keep it complex and classy.
Finish: Long and warming, with waves of baking spice, peppery oak, and a lovely soft sweetness that fades into rich malt and toasted vanilla.
