THE GLENALLACHIE WINE SERIES, GRATTAMACCO WINE CASK FINISH 10 year old

To craft The GlenAllachie Wine Series, firstly spirit is matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels. Subsequently, the whisky underwent additional maturation for over two years in wine barriques skilfully sourced by Master Distiller Billy Walker, imparting a distinctive twist onto the GlenAllachie spirit. Factors such as the oak species, level of toasting, and coopering of the cask each leave a unique mark on the slumbering spirit. The oak itself was previously influenced by the grape variety and terroir of the winery from which we sourced these barriques; thus, the wood adds distinctive layers of complexity, depth and charm. The second winery established in Tuscany’s renowned Bolgheri area, The Grattamacco Estate produces wines with a signature style of elegance. Complementing our fruit forward Speyside spirit, maturation in these barriques have created a palate rich with juicy blackcurrant and sweet tannins. Truly embodying the complexities of the red wine previously held in each cask, the resulting whisky offers up honeyed elegance with a well balanced finish
