NEW RELEASE FROM

THE WINE SERIES

10 Years Old Wine Series: Grattamacco Wine Finish

All the whiskies in the Glenallachie’s Wine Series are first aged in the best quality American Oak ex-bourbon barrels, before being re-racked into wine barriques carefully sourced by Billy Walker for over 2 years.  The second winery established in Tuscany’s renowned Bolgheri area, The Grattamacco Estate, produces wines with a signature style of elegance. Complementing our fruit-forward Speyside spirit, maturation in these barriques has created a palate rich with juicy blackcurrant and sweet tannins. Truly embodying the complexities of the red wine previously held in each cask, the resulting whisky offers up honeyed elegance with a well-balanced finish.

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.

11 Years Old Wine Series: Premier Cru Classé Finish

All the whiskies in the Glenallachie’s Wine Series are first aged in the best quality American Oak ex-bourbon barrels, before being re-racked into wine barriques carefully sourced by Billy Walker for over 2 years.  The Premier Cru French oak barriques were procured from one of just five Premier Cru Classé chateaux located in the world-renowned wine region of Bordeaux, France. Top of the official Bordeaux wine classification, these estates are considered to produce wines of the highest quality and flavour. Maturation in casks which previously held such full-bodied red wine has imbibed our honeyed spirit with deep notes of black cherry and smooth espresso. The resulting golden malt delivers a truly refined yet complex drinking experience.

NOSE: Waves of butterscotch, blackcurrant and heather honey, with hints of minerality, poached orchard fruits and orange zest.

PALATE: Layers of honeycomb, black fruits and dark chocolate, followed by coffee, truffle and cinnamon, with crème de cassis and ginger on the finish.

9 Years Old Wine Series: Douro Valley Wine Finish

All the whiskies in the Glenallachie’s Wine Series are first aged in the best quality American Oak ex-bourbon barrels, before being re-racked into wine barriques carefully sourced by Billy Walker for over 2 years.  Located in the heart of Portugal, the Douro Valley is one of the world’s oldest protected wine regions, established in 1756. With the country’s highest wine classification as a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC), this historic region is a significant producer of robust, characterful red wines. The barriques selected have imparted richness of both colour and flavour to our Speyside malt, offering decadent layers of dried stone fruits and delicate hints of warming spice.

NOSE: Waves of plum jam, clementines and dried red berries, with notes of heather honey and vanilla spice.

PALATE: Bursting with dried apricots, heather honey and crystalised fruits, followed by hints of ripe black fruits, butterscotch and cinnamon spice.
