Glenallachie 2012 Vintage Cuvée Wine Cask Finish 48% 6 CL Sample

0.06 liter 48%

Billy Walker on the first GlenAllachie launch in 2023:

“As a passionate wine lover, coming up with a Cuvée was nothing short of a dream project. I am fortunate to have long standing relationships with premium wine producers across Europe, this has opened the doors for us to create a whiskey with complex charm.

“As a blender at heart, it was a very interesting challenge to identify wine styles that go well together and thereby capture distinctive qualities. It is said, 'never mix grapes and grain', but I can say with certainty that this marriage is a match made in heaven.”
