- Description
- GlenAllachie's 1989 distillate aged for 23 years in a refill sherry cask before independent bottling by The Vintage Malt Whisky Co. in 2013. The refill cask imparts a subtle sherry influence while allowing the distillery's naturally fruity and spiced character to remain prominent. With 320 bottles released, this is a characterful Speyside expression showing the depth that patient maturation can achieve. Ideal for those seeking an under-the-radar Speyside with genuine complexity.
