GlenAllachie 11 Year Old 2014 Sinteis Series Part 3 Limited Edition

Part of the GlenAllachie Sinteis Series, this is the third release, an 11 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, matured in French Limousin virgin oak and Oloroso sherry casks. This Limited Edition expression was distilled in 2014 and bottled at cask strength.
The Sinteis Series is the creation of Master Blender Billy Walker, whose 53-year career has shaped The GlenAllachie’s wood-forward approach to whisky-making. Named after the Scottish Gaelic word for synthesis, the ‘Sinteis’ Series explores dual-cask maturation pairing virgin oak barrels with traditional sherry casks.

    Taste:    Heather honey, spiced orange and baked apple, followed by winter truffle, muscovado sugar and cinnamon.

    Finish:   Long with hazelnuts and mocha.

The GlenAllachie Distillery was the fourth distillery designed by William-Delme Evans and built by Mackinlay McPherson (distilling arm of Scottish and Newcastle). In February 1968, the distillery began its first production run with the capacity of producing almost three million litres of alcohol.
Today The GlenAllachie is one of Scotland’s few independently owned and managed distilleries and it is led by industry veteran, Billy Walker, who boasts an astonishing 50-year tenure in whisky. Nestled at the foot of Ben Rinnes, the distillery lies at the heart of the Speyside, with a focus upon quality over quantity.
