To craft The GlenAllachie Wine Series, Master Blender Billy Walker first expertly matured Glenallachie’s complex spirit in the finest American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before transferring the whisky into hand-selected European wine barriques for secondary aging.

Famed for his ability to strike the perfect balance between innovation and tradition, Billy added a distinctive twist to this release by ultimately blending four exceptional wine cask finishes into one unique expression: The Cuvée Wine Cask Finish. A French term, Cuvée is used in the wine industry to indicate a wine of superior quality in which two or more grape varieties have been blended. This Cuvée is a true illustration of Billy’s blending prowess gained across his 50 years of experience.

With a passion for sourcing casks from niche producers, Billy acquired wine barriques from the world famous wine regions of Languedoc and Valpolicella, along with casks from two premier Cru Classe chateaux in Bordeaux to both compliment and elevate, Glenallachies honeyed spirit.
