The GlenAllachie 8YO Scottish Virgin Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Regular price
$170.00
The GlenAllachie 8YO Scottish Virgin Oak is a bold and characterful single malt that showcases the unique influence of homegrown oak on Scotch whisky. Master Distiller Billy Walker, renowned for his wood management expertise, selected virgin Scottish Sessile Oak casks for the finishing process—an unusual and complex choice that adds both depth and intrigue.
Initially matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, the GlenAllachie 8YO is then transferred to virgin native oak casks sourced from the Highlands. The tight grain and high tannin content of Scottish oak lend the spirit a robust, spicy character. Expect notes of toasted oak, heather honey, ginger spice, and subtle orchard fruit. The palate offers layers of cinnamon, barley sugar, and nutmeg, all balanced with a creamy malt backbone and warming oak finish.
Bottled at a generous 48% ABV with natural colour and non-chill filtration, GlenAllachie 8YO is a dram that speaks to those who appreciate craftsmanship and innovation. The Scottish Virgin Oak release is part of GlenAllachie’s Virgin Oak Series—an ongoing exploration into how different types of oak from around the world shape flavour.
The GlenAllachie 8YO Scottish Virgin Single Malt Scotch Whisky is ideal for collectors and curious palates alike.
