Glenallachie 2009 13YR Sauternes Cask 750ml

Type: Whiskey
Region: Speyside
Country: UK
Size: 750ml
ABV: 59.4%

We’re delighted to present our seventh batch of single casks specially selected for the UK, each demonstrating the unique interaction of the wood, spirit, and subsequent flavour extension.

Famed for sourcing casks from niche producers, Billy acquired this particular Sauternes Barrique (2009 #3712) from a winery in South-West France. This French oak cask previously held Sauternes, a dessert wine which originates from Bordeaux. As well as bestowing a golden glow to the spirit, this cask has imparted elegant flavours of stone fruit and sweet spices upon the classic honeyed GlenAllachie spirit.

Bottled at 59.4%, unchilfiltered and natural colour, this expression is available exclusively in the UK.
