- Description
- Distilled in May 1981 and aged for 22 years in a single cask, this GlenAllachie represents a snapshot of classic Speyside character from four decades past. The extended maturation in one vessel would have developed a concentrated, integrated profile with the distillery's characteristic honeyed malt at its core. A rare survivor from the private collection market, this bottle appeals to patient collectors and those seeking mature Speyside expressions with proven provenance.
