GlenAllachie unveiled the 30 Year Old Batch 2. Master Distiller Billy Walker, fuelled by his desire to create a truly exquisite expression from GlenAllachie vintage stocks, drew upon his 50 years of industry experience to craft this rich mahogany malt.
The second instalment marries antique whiskies from eight casks handpicked by Walker from stocks spanning more than 50,000 maturing across 16 on-site warehouses at GlenAllachie. To create this sophisticated whisky, Walker meticulously selected 1990 and 1991 vintages matured in six former Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry hogsheads and puncheons, along with two 1990 American virgin oak barrels which were toasted and charred to a medium level.
Reflecting on the exclusive release, Walker comments: “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, endeavoring 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.”
The GlenAllachie 30 Year Old Batch 2 is bottled at its cask strength of 50.8% ABV, non chill-filtered, and without added colour.
Batch 2 (UK RRSP £600) is a limited release of just 2,000 bottles globally, each encased in a premium black rigid box with gold foil detailing.
