Glenallachie 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

In this era of mergers and consolidations we go against the grain; an independent, Scottish owned and managed whisky company. We chose to step away from the corporate treadmill and short-term targets. Instead, we focus on the important things; making great whisky and enjoying life.

It is in this tradition that we would like to introduce the most important release in the history of The GlenAllachie Distillers Company; GlenAllachie 12 year old, the heart of our range, a landmark bottling. Our best casks selected and bottled under the careful eye of our Master Distiller Billy Walker.

The GlenAllachie 12 Year Old is bottled at 46%, non chill filtered and natural colour.

The Glenallachie Product page has had some amendments since April 2020, the following is the text taken from that time, the new information taken above no longer reveals the cask maturation type and the colour description has also changed, however it now has a statement regarding colour and filtration
