- Description
- Glenallachie 40 Year Old 1972, bottled by Douglas Laing, entices with 'Sherried' notes and whispers of 'Old Wood' and 'Dried Fruit'. At a robust 56.8% ABV, this Speyside whisky offers a 'Nutty' complexity, yet has no ratings to guide. Pricing at £210.79 sits intriguingly low for its age, making it either a steal or a gamble.
