Detailed Description
Distilled at Glenallachie distillery, this Speyside single malt has been matured in American oak casks, before being finished in quarter casks that had previously held rye whiskey from Chicago’s Koval distillery. The result is a rich, sweet single malt with a healthy hit of fresh rye-spice, notes of honey and butterscotch mingle with cinnamon, nutmeg and spicy, grassy flavours.
