Whisky Resource Note:
There is no mention of the Distillery Edition on the GlenAllachie website, after some research, the Distillery Edition was launched in 2016 by the then owners Chivas Bros, it was discontinued the following year when the distillery was sold. Limited bottles are still available to purchase at several retailers. Extracts taken from retailers below:
From Master of Malt
The Glenallachie Distillery Edition gives some of the spotlight on its label to the Ben Rinnes mountain. Sitting at the foot of the mountain, Glenallachie uses water that comes from a spring 3,000ft up Ben Rinnes' north-east face.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Caramel-dipped apples and pears, with hints of brown sugar and digestive biscuits.
Palate: Oodles of vanilla, with a zesty kick of fresh citrus at the centre.
Finish: Fruity esters last long on the finish.
From The Whisky Exchange
Distillery Edition is the first ongoing release from Glenallachie since the 12 Year Old in the 1980s. This has notes of vanilla, citrus and hints of toast.
