GlenAllachie - The Sinteis Series II - 0.7L

GlenAllachie - 2015/2025 - Sinteis Series Part 2 - Scottish Virgin Oak & Oloroso Cask - 2025

The GlenAllachie 2015/2025 Sinteis Series Part II embodies the visionary craftsmanship and innovative maturation philosophy of Master Distiller Billy Walker, whose 53-year career in the whisky industry is reflected in this exceptional bottling. This second edition of the groundbreaking Sinteis series (pronounced "sin-teesh," Scottish Gaelic for "synthesis") represents a harmonious fusion of two distinctive cask types, exploring the fascinating relationship between rare Scottish virgin oak barrels and traditional Oloroso sherry casks. Distilled in 2015, this Speyside single malt underwent a meticulous nine-year maturation, during which the powerful personality of the Scottish virgin oak casks was blended with the familiar depth of Oloroso sherry maturation to create a remarkable synthesis.

Aromas: The nose reveals an intense and complex bouquet of mocha and grilled honeycomb, accompanied by sun-dried red berries and creamy cinnamon butter. Roasted lemon peel and rich muscovado sugar round off the seductive flavor profile and promise an exceptional taste experience.

Palate: On the palate, a complex flavor composition unfolds, featuring heather honey, vibrant citrus fruits, and gently warmed baking spices, accompanied by crisp ginger cookies and poached orchard fruits. The vanilla sweetness and honeycomb richness of the Virgin Oak blend seamlessly with the warm spices and luscious fruits of the Oloroso sherry casks, creating an irresistible taste experience.

Departure: The long-lasting finish is characterized by lingering mocha notes and velvety vanilla buttercream, leaving a warm and pleasurable memory of this exceptional barrel fusion.

This innovative Speyside single malt is bottled in its natural molasses color at a robust 58.2% ABV, without chill filtration or added coloring to preserve the authentic essence of this rare cask blend. The elegant packaging, designed by Scottish designer Kayley Barbour, reflects the fusion of different woods with its wood-embossed texture and signature oak emblem. With the motto "Two distinct casks. One harmonious synthesis," Sinteis Part II represents a celebration of creativity at the heart of whisky making, offering both adventure and comforting timelessness for discerning connoisseurs. A true masterpiece, it perfectly balances curiosity and comfort, bringing to life the untapped potential of Scottish virgin oak maturation.
