GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Spanish Virgin Oak: A Mahogany Marvel
Unveiling Batch 3 of our Virgin Oak Series
Experience the epitome of craftsmanship with the GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Spanish Virgin Oak, a distinguished malt derived from the heart of Spanish Oak (Quercus Robur). Our journey begins in the pristine forests of the Cantabrian Mountains, specifically sourced from the regions of Galicia and Asturias, where the cool, humid climate imparts unique characteristics to the oak.
Spanish Elegance: The Wood’s Journey
Our Spanish Oak hogsheads undergo a meticulous 18-month air-drying process before being toasted and charred to a medium level. This intricate method allows our complex spirit to intricately weave its essence into the oak, creating a symphony of spicy and treacly flavors.
A Symphony in Mahogany
The result is a malt with a rich mahogany hue, a testament to the secondary aging in these virgin casks. The palate is an indulgence of dried fruits, maraschino cherries, and subtle hints of stem ginger, culminating in a harmonious blend of flavors that captivate the senses.
Bottled Excellence
Bottled at a bold 48%, our GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Spanish Virgin Oak stands true to its natural color and remains unadulterated by the chill-filtering process. This commitment to purity ensures that every sip is a genuine reflection of the whisky’s essence.
