GlenAllachie 12 Year WINNER OF WORLD'S BEST SINGLE MALT!!!
The GlenAllachie Distillery was established in the heart of Scotland’s Speyside region in 1967. By Scotch whisky standards, it is a relatively new distillery.
The distillery has had several owners since its founding. It was built by Mackinlay McPherson, a Scottish & Newcastle Breweries subsidiary, in response to the whisky boom of the 1960s. The renowned architect William Delmé-Evans designed the facility.
In 1985, GlenAllachie was sold to Invergordon Distillers, and in 1989, it became part of Pernod Ricard following its acquisition of Invergordon. Under Pernod, the distillery continued to be a significant source of malt for blended Scotch whiskies. From 2001 on, GlenAllachie was part of Chivas Brothers, Pernod’s whisky arm, and supplied malt for its blends.
In 2017, Billy Walker, along with Graham Stevenson and Trisha Savage, purchased GlenAllachie. This marked the beginning of a new chapter for the distillery. Walker, a respected figure in the whisky industry, is known for revitalizing distilleries. He shifted GlenAllachie to producing an expanded product range featuring premium single malt Scotch whiskies.
Under his guidance, the distillery has embraced traditional methods while implementing innovative aging and finishing techniques to enhance the complexity and uniqueness of its whiskies.
The distillery uses traditional pot stills for distillation and sources assorted cask types for aging, including ex-bourbon, ex-sherry, and virgin oak. It has also experimented with diverse oak varieties. This diverse cask usage creates various flavor profiles in their whiskies, from rich and deep to light and vibrant.
