The Glenallachie 21 Year Batch 2 is coming…
If you managed to get your hands on Batch 1, then you will understand why this is an exciting announcement. The best part is, they are now officially released out to distributors.
Unfortunately however, with a very limited release of only 1,600 bottles available worldwide, that doesn’t leave a whole lot of bottles for us here in Australia. As I imagine, with the 30 Year batch 1, there will be very few bottles to go around with bars and retailers with a high turnover of Glenallachie getting hold of the majority. We will certainly do our best to get hold of some however, so stay tuned….
This new instalment marries together five Pedro Ximénez puncheons and hogsheads dating back to 1997, 1998 and 1999; each hand-picked by renowned Master Distiller and Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame inductee, Walker, who this year celebrates reaching a half-century in the Scotch Whisky industry.
Chosen from The GlenAllachie’s enviable stock of over 50,000 casks, the Pedro Ximénez casks imparted rich, indulgent tones upon the distinctive heather honeyed charm of the distillery’s archetypal spirit.
The antique auburn liquid, said to display “lashings of cocoa, Seville orange, fresh ginger and treacle tart”, has been bottled at natural cask strength of 51.1% ABV, with no added colour and non chill filtered.
