Part of the GlenAllachie Wine Series, this 10 year old Speyside malt undergoes initial aging in American oak before a nuanced maturation in Grattamacco wine barriques, handpicked by Master Distiller Billy Walker. From Tuscany's esteemed Bolgheri area, the Grattamacco Estate's barriques enrich the whisky with blackcurrant and sweet tannins, reflecting the elegance of the region's red wine. Presented at 48% and limited to 2,600 cases, this non-chill filtered malt marries honeyed sophistication with a balanced finish, unaltered by added colors.
Tasting Note by GlenAllachie:
Nose: Bursting with dark chocolate, butterscotch and heather honey, with notes of blackcurrant, caramelised brown sugar and cinnamon spice.
Palate: Waves of ripe red berries, grapefruit and toasted honeycomb, followed by butterscotch, sugared fruit and black truffle.
