GlenAllachie - 11 year old - Premier Cru Classé Wine Finish - 0.7L

The GlenAllachie 11 Year Old Premier Cru Classé Wine Finish embodies the exceptional craftsmanship and innovative maturation philosophy of the Speyside distillery under the direction of Master Distiller Billy Walker. This exclusive single malt whisky initially underwent careful maturation in American ex-bourbon casks before being finished for over two years in precious French oak casks from one of only five Premier Cru Classé châteaux in the prestigious Bordeaux region. These rare barriques, which previously held full-bodied red wines of the highest Bordeaux classification, impart remarkable depth and complexity to the originally honeyed GlenAllachie character.

Aromas: The nose reveals an opulent bouquet of creamy butterscotch, blackcurrants, and sweet heather honey, harmoniously underscored by mineral nuances and poached orchard fruits. Delicate orange zest and a hint of minerality round off the elegant and inviting aroma profile.

Palate: On the palate, a complex flavor composition unfolds, featuring honeycomb, black cherries, and plums, accompanied by rich dark chocolate and warm coffee notes. Truffle and cinnamon meld with crème de cassis to create a luxurious and refined taste experience, demonstrating a masterful balance between fruity sweetness and spicy complexity.

Departure: The finish is medium-long and elegant, characterized by velvety cassis pudding notes and a warming ginger finish that perfectly complements the burgundy splendor of this limited bottling.

This exceptional Highland single malt is bottled at 48% ABV in its natural mahogany splendor, without chill filtration or added coloring, to preserve the authentic essence of its noble wine-finish maturation. With only 1,800 bottles produced worldwide, the GlenAllachie 11 Year Old Premier Cru Classé Wine Finish is a true collector's item for discerning whisky enthusiasts who appreciate the harmonious blend of Scottish distilling expertise and French winemaking tradition. An extraordinary taste experience that unites two of Europe's finest spirits traditions in perfect harmony.
