GlenAllachie 12 Year Old Spanish Virgin Oak Finish

This rich bronze malt attains its spicy, treacly flavours from hogsheads made of Spanish Oak (Quercus Robur) sourced from Galicia and Asturias regions, more specifically, the Cantabrian Mountains which have a cooler climate and greater humidity.

Before being filled, the wood is air-dried for around 18 months, opening up the oak for the GlenAllachie spirit to extract the cask character.

Bottled at 48%, natural colour and non chill filtered.

Nose: Waves of honey, coconut and treacle, followed by orange zest and cinnamon.

Palate: Layers of heather honey, treacle, coconut and orange zest, fused with mocha, nutmeg and cinnamon.
