The GlenAllachie 9 Years Old DOURO VALLEY WINE CASK FINISH Limited Edition 48% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

The GlenAllachie 9 Years Old Douro Valley Wine Cask Finish is an expressive bottling from the innovative Wood Finish Series by the GlenAllachie Distillery – an independent distillery from Speyside, Scotland, which, under Master Distiller Billy Walker, stands for creative cask maturations and uncompromising quality. This single malt was initially matured in American ex-bourbon casks before being finished in former red wine casks from the Douro Valley in Portugal – one of the world's most renowned wine-growing regions, known for port wine and full-bodied red wines.

The subsequent maturation in Douro Valley Wine Casks gives this GlenAllachie additional aromatic depth, characterized by dark berries, delicate tannins, and sweet spice, which blends harmoniously with the fruity and malty distillery character. With an alcohol content of 48% ABV, non-chill-filtered, and bottled in natural color, this bottling offers a pure and intense flavor experience.

The combination of Scottish whisky craftsmanship and Portuguese wine influence makes this single malt an exciting and enjoyable discovery – perfect for connoisseurs who look beyond the boundaries of classic cask maturation.

Tasting notes:

Color: Ruby-gold hue.
Nose: Fruity and elegant with ripe red berries, vanilla, cinnamon, dark chocolate, and oak spice.
Palate: Full-bodied with aromas of black cherries, strawberry jam, honey, roasted almonds, and a hint of dark chocolate.
Finish: Long and harmonious with fruity sweetness, gentle tannins, and a subtle spice.

This single malt is best enjoyed neat at room temperature, ideally in a nosing glass to fully appreciate the wine cask aromas. A few drops of water open up the structure and release the fruity nuances even more clearly. Particularly suitable as an aperitif or with dessert, accompanied by chocolate tart, mature soft cheese, or berry compote—a whisky that stylishly combines Speyside tradition and Portuguese passion for wine.
