The GlenAllachie 12 Years Old PEDRO XIMÉNEZ SHERRY HOGSHEAD 2014 62,7% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

The GlenAllachie 12 Years Old Pedro Ximénez Sherry Hogshead 2014 is a powerful Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, an original bottling from the renowned GlenAllachie Distillery. Distilled in 2014, this whisky was bottled in 2026 after a total of 12 years of maturation. At the heart of this special bottling is the Pedro Ximénez Sherry Hogshead #9371, whose influence imparts a pronounced cask character to the single malt. The hogshead used combines the robust GlenAllachie style with the influence of sweet Spanish Pedro Ximénez sherry. This bottling is particularly interesting for lovers of intensely cask-driven Speyside whiskies, where the age, vintage, and specific cask are clearly indicated.

The GlenAllachie 2014/2026 PX Sherry Hogshead #9371 is bottled at an impressive 62.7% ABV, making it a particularly robust drinking strength. It is neither chill-filtered nor colored, thus preserving the natural cask character as authentically as possible. Kirsch explicitly labels this bottling as a non-peated single malt, highlighting the influence of the Pedro Ximénez sherry cask. The GlenAllachie Distillers Co. Limited, under the direction of Billy Walker, is responsible for this bottling and is known for its strong focus on cask selection and management. The combination of 12 years of maturation, the 2014 vintage, PX Sherry Hogshead #9371, 62.7% ABV, and natural color makes this 70cl gift-boxed bottle a particularly attractive choice for collectors and sherry cask enthusiasts.
