Hot on the heels of announcing whisky veteran Billy Walker's 50th Anniversary in the Scotch Whiskt industy, The GlenAllachie today launches the second instalment of its oldest and most prestigious core offering: Glenallachie 30 Year Old Batch 2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
The annual batch release by the leading distiller debuted last year to great acclaim, with the small quantity of bottles issued being met with substantial demand.
The second installment 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.
The result of is an outstanding whisky that epitomises rich Sherry-matured elegance, with flavour profile revealing layers of Seville orange, coffee beans, desiccated coconut and Medjool dates.
Batch 2 is a limited release of just 2,000 bottles globally, each encased in a premium black rigid box with impactful gold foil detailing.
Nose: Bursting with heather honey, sultanas and mocha, followed by waves of cinnamon, coconut shavings and dried fruits.
Palate: Lashings of dark chocolate, figs and orange zest, with hints of treacle, raisins and cinnamon.
Finish: Elements of the palate continue onto the finish, bringing with it with nutmeg.
