- Tasting note
The amazing flavour rainbow of raisins, bananas, sweet cloves and pineapples extends to orange peel and dark chocolate.

Billy Walker, the Master Distiller who last year led the purchase of The GlenAllachie Distillery near Aberlour in Speyside, has released a special bottling of limited edition whiskies as his first product launch from the site after examining casks of world-class Scotch in its warehouses.
Having sampled an extensive selection of the distillerys 40,000 casks, Mr Walker has identified six casks that have been bottled to mark the 50th anniversary of the distillerys maiden production run on February 17th 1968.
Over 3,500 50cl bottles have been filled as special edition single cask whiskies; 720 for the UK, 2,391 for General Export and 425 for Taiwan all bottled at cask strength, with prices ranging from 200 to 699.
The single cask bottlings are being released ahead of the launch in June 2018 of the full GlenAllachie range, which will mark the first time the distillery has had its own cohesive identity as a brand.
