- Description
- GlenAllachie's 1996 vintage spent 22 years in paired hogsheads before Signatory bottled it at 55.4% ABV for their Cask Strength Collection, capturing the spirit in its most concentrated form. Expect the full range of Speyside orchard fruits and honey with the intensity that cask strength brings—no dilution masks the wood interaction. The robust ABV delivers a rich, oily mouthfeel and extended finish with baking spice. This is for serious drinkers and collectors who appreciate undiluted, single-cask character.
