Glenallachie 40 Year Old Director's Cut Speyside single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Douglas Laing. From a single sherry butt cask #8217. Distilled 1972 and bottled March 2012. 146 bottles. Glenallachie Glenallachie Distillery was established in 1967 with two stills which later increased to four in order to meet an ever increasing demand for Glenallachie malt whisky. Glenallachie Distillery is a Scottish Speyside distillery sitting on the eastern edge of Ben Rinnes mountain where it is rather exposed to the elements and is often to be see sitting within the snowline. A modern building and yet its architect William Delmé-Evans created a distillery which is rather pleasing on the eye. Nose: Opens with a macerated dried fruit quality + a flamed orange zest in dark chocolate stylePalate: Opens sherbety – runs to a rich, sweetly spiced fruit character + more dried orange zestFinish: Dark, bitter chocolate then running drier with cedar wood and tobacco lingering
