- Description
- GlenAllachie's 8 Year Old Scottish Oak Finish begins maturation in American oak bourbon barrels before a roughly 18-month finishing period in freshly filled Scottish oak casks. The virgin Scottish oak imparts a distinctive character rarely seen in modern Speyside single malts, complementing the distillery's naturally fruity spirit. A curious expression for those interested in how unconventional wood finishing reshapes familiar distillery profiles.
