Hardcore work dedication resulting in a worthy core range addition. Purchased, sold, mothballed, and opened again four times — it's been a pretty rocky ride for the 1967-opened The GlenAllachie Distillery.

But it was always meant to be: in 2017 Master Distiller Billy Walker and partners merged this under-utilized distiller gem with a few other Whisky brands to form The GlenAllachie Distillers Company Limited. With a new wind in their sails, Walker and Co. dished out a new core range of four Single Malt Whiskies in the Speyside style.

A 2019 addition to the GlenAllachie core range, this 15 Year Old Single Malt has been worked on and perfected by the Master Distiller Billy Walker since day one. That's what we call dedication!

The Whisky was treated to a finishing period in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry puncheons and hogsheads. To retain this rich, full flavor, it was bottled at Cask Strength of 46% ABV (90 Proof).

Praised as the jewel in their crown, Walker described this expression as having an "exceptional balance of the distillery’s spirit and the influence of the Sherry casks used during maturation." We couldn't agree more.

Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
